Short-Term Outcomes of Laparoscopic Proximal Gastrectomy With Double-Tract Reconstruction Versus Laparoscopic Total Gastrectomy for Upper Early Gastric Cancer: A KLASS 05 Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with double-tract reconstruction (LPG-DTR) is a function-preserving procedure performed for treating upper early gastric cancer (EGC). However, few studies have compared the outcomes of LPG-DTR with those of laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG). This study aimed at comparing the short-term outcomes of LPG-DTR between LTG and upper EGC.

Materials and methods

For upper-third EGC, a multicenter, prospective, randomized trial was performed to compare those who underwent LPG-DTR with those who underwent LTG. Short-term outcomes, including clinicopathologic results, morbidity, mortality, and postoperative courses, were evaluated using a full analysis set based on the intention-to-treat principle and the per-protocol set.

Results

Of the patients, 138 who fulfilled the criteria were randomized to each group. One patient in the LPG-DTR group withdrew consent. Sixty-eight patients underwent LPG-DTR and 69 underwent LTG. The operative time (LPG-DTR=219.4 minutes; LTG=201.8 minutes; P=0.085), estimated blood loss (LPG-DTR=76.0 mL; LTG=66.1 mL; P=0.413), and the morbidity rate (LPG-DTR=23.5%; LTG=17.4%; P=0.373) between the groups were not significantly different. No mortality occurred in either of the study groups. Two weeks post operation, the Visick scores for postprandial symptoms, including reflux symptoms, were not significantly different between the groups (P=0.749). Laboratory findings on postoperative day 5 were not significantly different between the groups.

Conclusions

The short-term outcomes of LPG-DTR for upper EGC were comparable to those of LTG.

Project description:ImportancePatients undergoing proximal gastrectomy (PG) with double-tract reconstruction (DTR) have been reported to have an incidence of reflux esophagitis that is as low as that observed after total gastrectomy (TG). It is unclear whether PG has an advantage over TG for the treatment of patients with upper early gastric cancer (GC).ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of laparoscopic PG with DTR (LPG-DTR) vs laparoscopic TG (LTG) on levels of hemoglobin and vitamin B12 supplementation required among patients with clinically early GC in the upper third of the stomach (upper-third early GC).Design, setting, and participantsThis multicenter open-label superiority randomized clinical trial was conducted at 10 institutions in Korea. A total of 138 patients with upper-third cT1N0M0 GC were enrolled between October 27, 2016, and September 9, 2018. Follow-up ended on December 3, 2020.InterventionsPatients were randomized to undergo either LPG-DTR or LTG.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary co-end points were change in hemoglobin level and cumulative amount of vitamin B12 supplementation at 2 years after LPG-DTR or LTG. The secondary end points included morbidity, postoperative reflux esophagitis, quality of life, overall survival, and disease-free survival. Quality of life outcomes were assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ) 30-item core questionnaire (C30) and the EORTC QLQ stomach cancer-specific questionnaire at 3 months, 12 months, and 24 months.ResultsAmong 138 patients (mean [SD] age, 60.0 [10.9] years; 87 men [63.0%]; all of Asian race and Korean ethnicity), 68 (mean [SD] age, 56.7 [10.4] years; 39 men [57.4%]) were randomized to receive LPG-DTR and 69 (mean [SD] age, 61.3 [11.3] years; 48 men [69.6%]) were randomized to receive LTG. The mean (SD) changes in hemoglobin levels from baseline to month 24 were -5.6% (7.4%) in the LPG-DTR group and -6.9% (8.3%) in the LTG group, for an estimated difference of -1.3% (95% CI, -4.0% to 1.4%; P = .35). The mean (SD) cumulative amount of vitamin B12 supplementation was 0.4 (1.3) mg in the LPG-DTR group and 2.5 (3.0) mg in the LTG group, for an estimated difference of 2.1 mg (95% CI, 1.3-2.9 mg; P < .001). The late complication rates in the LPG-DTR and LTG groups were 17.6% and 10.1%, respectively (P = .31). The incidence of reflux esophagitis was not different between the LPG-DTR and LTG groups (2.9% vs 2.9%; P = .99). Compared with the LTG group, the LPG-DTR group had better physical functioning scores (85.2 [15.6] vs 79.9 [19.3]; P = .03) and social functioning scores (89.5 [17.9] vs 82.4 [19.4]; P = .03) on the EORTC QLQ-C30. Two-year overall survival (98.5% vs 100%; P = .33) and disease-free survival (98.5% vs 97.1%; P = .54) did not significantly differ between the LPG-DTR vs LTG groups.Conclusions and relevanceIn this study, patients with upper-third early GC who received LPG-DTR required less vitamin B12 supplementation than those who received LTG, with no increase in complication rates and no difference in overall and disease-free survival rates. There was no difference in change in hemoglobin level between groups. In addition, the LPG-DTR group had better physical and social functioning than the LTG group. These findings suggest that LPG-DTR may be as safe as LTG and may be a function-preserving procedure for the treatment of patients with upper-third early GC.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02892643.

Project description:Objective To evaluate the safety and clinical effect of tubular esophagogastric anastomosis in laparoscopic radical proximal gastrectomy. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted involving 191 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical proximal gastrectomy in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from January 2017 to October 2020. Patients were divided into tubular esophagogastric anastomosis group (TG group) and traditional esophagogastric anastomosis group (EG group) according to the digestive tract reconstruction. Their intraoperative conditions, perioperative recovery and postoperative follow-up were compared. Patients were also divided into indocyanine green group and non-indocyanine green group according to whether or not indocyanine green tracer technology was used during the operation. Their intraoperative condition and perioperative recovery were compared and analyzed after propensity score matching. Results The operation was successfully completed in all patients. Compared with the EG group, the TG group had less volume of gastric tube drainage, shorter gastric tube drainage time and proton pump inhibitors application time, and lower reuse rate of proton pump inhibitors. However, the TG group had a higher anastomotic stenosis at three months after surgery, as measured using anastomotic width and dysphagia score. Nevertheless, the incidence of reflux esophagitis and postoperative quality of life score in the TG group were lower compared with the EG group at 1st and 2nd year after surgery. In the indocyanine green analysis, the indocyanine green group had significantly shorter total operation time and lymph node dissection time and less intraoperative blood loss compared with the non-indocyanine green group. However, compared with the non-indocyanine green group, more postoperative lymph nodes were obtained in the indocyanine green group. Conclusion Laparoscopic radical proximal gastrectomy is safe and effective treatment option for upper gastric cancer. Tubular esophagogastric anastomosis has more advantages in restoring postoperative gastrointestinal function and reducing reflux, but it has a higher incidence of postoperative anastomotic stenosis compared with traditional esophagogastrostomy. The application of indocyanine green tracer technique in laparoscopic radical proximal gastrectomy has positive significance.

Project description:IntroductionLaparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with double flap technique (LPG-DFT) reconstruction has been used for proximal early gastric cancer in recent years. However, its feasibility and safety remain uncertain, as only a few retrospective studies have contained postoperative complications and long-term survival data. LPG-DFT for proximal early gastric cancer is still in the early stages of research. Large-scale, prospective randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are necessary to assess the value of LPG-DFT for proximal early gastric cancer.Methods and analysisThis study is a multicentre, prospective, open-label, RCT that investigates the antireflux effect of LPG-DFT compared with laparoscopic total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y (LTG-RY) reconstruction for proximal early gastric cancer. A total of 216 eligible patients will be randomly assigned to the LPG-DFT group or the LTG-RY group at a 1:1 ratio using a central, dynamic and stratified block randomisation method, if inclusion criteria are met. General and clinical data will be collected when the patient is enrolled in the study and keep pace with the patient at each stage of his medical and follow-up pathway. The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients with reflux esophagitis (Los Angeles Grade B or more) within 12 months postoperatively. The secondary endpoints included intraoperative outcomes, postoperative recovery, postoperative pain assessment, pathological outcomes, postoperative quality of life, postoperative nutrition status, morbidity and mortality rate, and oncological outcomes (3-year overall survival (OS), 3-year disease-free survival (DFS), 5-year DFS and 5-year OS).Ethics and disseminationThe protocol is approved by the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University ethics committee (registration number: SYSKY-2022-276-02) on 28 September 2022.We will report the positive as well as negative findings in international peer-reviewed journals.Trial registration numberNCT05890339.

Project description:BackgroundIn Germany and Western Europe, gastroesophageal junction cancer (AEG) and proximal gastric cancer are currently treated with (transhiatal-extended) total gastrectomy (TG) according to the latest treatment guidelines. TG leads to a severe and long-lasting impairment of postoperative health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of the treated patients. Recent studies have suggested that HRQoL of these patients could be improved by proximal gastrectomy with double-tract reconstruction (PG-DTR) without compromising oncologic safety. Our aim is therefore to conduct a randomized controlled non-inferiority trial comparing PG-DTR with TG in AEG II/III and gastric cancer patients with overall survival as primary endpoint and HRQoL as key secondary endpoint.MethodsThis protocol is written with reference to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P 2015) statement. We will conduct searches in the electronic databases MEDLINE, Web of Science Core Collection, ScienceDirect, and Cochrane Library. We will also check references of relevant studies and perform a cited reference research. Titles and abstracts of the records identified by the searches will be screened, and full texts of all potentially relevant articles will be obtained. We will consider randomized trials and non-randomized studies. The selection of studies, data extraction, and assessment of risk of bias of the included studies will be conducted independently by two reviewers. Meta-analysis will be performed using RevMan 5.4 (Review Manager (RevMan) Version 5.4, The Cochrane Collaboration).DiscussionThis systematic review will identify the current study pool concerning the comparison of TG and PG-DTR and help to finally refine the research questions and to allow an evidence-based trial design of the planned multicenter randomized-controlled trial.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval is not required for this systematic review. Study findings will be shared by publication in a peer-reviewed journal.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO CRD42021291500.
