35 Background: This study explores the prognosis impact of nutritional and immune status in metastatic gastric cancer (GC). Recently research has been focused on a proinflammatory status and the relevance of inmune system of the patient in GC. Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) has showed prognostic value in local disease. Our study was assesed in metastatic disease. Methods: One hundred and twenty patients with metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma were retrospectively evaluated between 2011 and 2015. 67.2% were metastatic at diagnosis and 32.8% had a recurrence of disease. Clinical, laboratory and histopathological characteristics were selected as risk factors. The optimal cut-off levels were defined as NLR = 3, PNI (10 x albumin concentration +0.005 x total lymphocyte count) = 43.8, albumin = 3.5 g/dL, body mass index (BMI) = 25. Patients with high NLR and hypoalbuminemia were defined as 2, patients who presented only one abnormally were defined as 1 and those with neither abnormality were defined as 0. Lab data levels were related with survival by Kaplan-Meier and compared by long-rank test. Results: Among 120 patients, mean age was 69 years old, 35% female and 72.5% had no comorbidity. NLR > 3 (6.7 vs 12.5months, p = 0.001), low PNI (7.7 vs 13.1months, p = 0.01) and low albumin (6.2 vs 11.2 months, p = 0.002) were correlated with OS. Significantly, patients with an BMI < 25 had a worse prognosis compared with patients with BMI ≥ 25 (7.4 vs 12.4months, p = 0.02). Obesity in metastatic GC was related with good prognosis in our review. In the group of patients with hypoalbuminemia and h-NLR (27.6%) OS was much worse than patients with normal albumin and low-NLR, 33.6% (4.4months vs. 12.8 months, p < 0.001) Conclusions: High NLR ( > 3) and low PNI ( < 43.8), albumin ( < 3.5g/dL) were correlated with worse outcomes. Moreover, the association in a score of NLR plus albumin showed eight months OS diference. As a recent data in other cancer sites, obesity was related with good prognosis in mGC in our review.
the TZM group. 5-year survival was 100% in TZM group vs. 90.4% in the control (p¼0.038). On multivariate analysis grade III tumor was significantly correlated with DFS (Hazard ratio [HR], 5.5, 95%CI: 0.92-9.5, p¼0.004). Lack of adjuvant TZM (HR, 3.0, 95%CI: 0.92-9.5) did not correlate with DFS.Conclusions: Overall outcomes of women with HER2+ T1a/bN0 BC is good. Women who received adjuvant TZM had numerically better DFS and a significantly better overall survival. High-grade tumor was correlated with inferior disease-free survival.Legal entity responsible for the study: Shahid Ahmed.
e20564 Background: Nivolumab, was the first checkpoint inhibitor to show a survival benefit in previously treated patients with advanced NSCLC in two randomized trials (CheckMate 017 and 057). Experience in routine clinical practice may differ from that seen in a controlled clinical trial. This is an observational study that represents the real-world experience. Methods: Elegibility criteria included, histologically confirmed NSCLC stage IIIB vs IV, evaluable disease and at least one prior therapy. Patients received nivolumab 3 mg/kg IV (60 min) every 2 weeks until progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity. The aim of the study was to report the efficacy and safety profile of Nivolumab in pretreated patients with advanced NSCLC of our everyday clinical practice. The exploratory assessments include response rate (RR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and treatment related adverse events (AEs). Results: From August 2015 to January 2017, with a median follow time of 18 months, 188 patients were enrolled from 9 different centers. Patients demographics were: median age 62 years, 44 female and 144 male; 17 never smoker and 171 former or current smoker; 105 adenocarcinoma, 7 large-cell carcinoma, 66 squamous, 3 adenosquamous and 7 NSCLC; 61 stage IIIB and 129 stage IV; 42 with central nervous system metastasis; and 70 received 2 or more prior therapy lines. Among 156 patients evaluated, 1,3% had CR, 28,2% PR, 29,7% SD and 40,8% PD. At the time of database lock, the median of PFS was 2.9 IC 95% (2,3-3.4) and OS was 12,8 IC 95% (9,2-16,4). The evaluation of PFS and OS by baseline characteristics doesn´t revealed statistical significance. Grade 1-2 treatment related adverse events (AEs) occurred in 58% of the patients: asthenia (22%), rash (14%), diarrhea (8%), anorexia (7%), endocrine (6%) and neumonitis (1,5%). Grade 3-4 AEs occurred in 5 patients; (3) diarrhea and (2) neumonitis and there were 3 treatment-related deaths. Conclusions: This study represents the real-word experience with nivolumab and the results are consistent with those previously reported in the CheckMate 017 and 057 trials.
