Neoadjuvant treatment with cisplatin and S-1 in elderly patients with oesophagogastric adenocarcinoma and locoregional disease: Two case reports and review of the literature

Abstract: Abstract. Perioperative platinum/fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy is the therapeutic standard for oesophagogastric cancer (OAC) patients with locoregional disease. The preoperative condition directly affects postoperative prognosis; thus, particularly for elderly patients, a perioperative regimen with a favourable side effect profile is highly desirable. In the palliative setting, the combination of cisplatin and S-1 (Cis/S-1) was found to be as effective as cisplatin/5-fluorouracil, but with a more favoura… Show more

“…Discontinuation rates observed in SCOOP as a result of progressive disease (26%) were similar to those reported for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer taking capecitabine monotherapy in the above-mentioned real-world survey (up to 24%) but roughly half of what was observed in FLAGS (62%). While this might be a reflection of the real-world setting [ 8 , 21 ], a more plausible explanation for this observation is the use of S-1-based chemotherapy in a perioperative setting in which only four cycles (two each in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings) are foreseen [ 22 ]. The latter explanation is supported by the fact that the majority of patients included in SCOOP (66%) had locally advanced disease without distant metastasis, a clear indication for perioperative chemotherapy according to the current guidelines [ 6 , 23 , 24 ].…”

“…1A). S-1, oral fluorouracil, is a key medication for gastrointestinal malignancies (the stomach, colorectal, biliary tract, and PDAC) 24,82,83 and is approved in many Asian countries. In Europe, S-1 is also approved by the European Medicines Agency and has been used for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer combined with cisplatin.…”
