Abstract:

Currently, the results of diagnostics and treatment of gastric cancer (GC) are still not satisfactory. With the advent of modern catheters and angiographic devices, regional intra-arterial chemotherapy in patients with gastric cancer has become more often used in clinical practice.

Aim: was to improve results of treatment of patients with gastric cancer using regional intra-arterial chemotherapy (RIACT).

Material and methods: the immediate and long-term results of complex treatment of 110 patients with stomach cancer for the period 2005-2020 were analyzed. The average age of patients was 59,2 + 4,3 years. The prevalence of the tumor process according to the TNM classification was as follows: T3N0M0 - 37(33,63%) patients, T3N1M0 - 41 (37,27%) patients, and T3N2M0 - 32 (29,1%) patients. Histologically, all patients showed various forms of adenocarcinoma. At the first stage, all patients underwent neoadjuvant RIACT according to the DPF scheme (Docetaxel 75mg/m2 + Cisplatin 75mg/m2 + Fluorouracil 1000mg/m2 on the 1st day) for 2 courses with an interval of 28 days, then surgery.

Results: the immediate results of RIACT showed the effectiveness of treatment after 2 courses of neoadjuvant intra-arterial regional chemotherapy in 93 (84,5%) patients, partial regression was noted, in 17(15,5%) patients, stabilization of the process was noted. These patients underwent a radical operation with the second stage of complex treatment - extended gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy. The drug pathomorphosis of the 1-2 degree was noted in 34 (30,9%) patients, the third degree was noted in 38 (34,5%), the pathomorphosis of the fourth degree in 9 (8,1%) patients. With dynamic follow-up of patients 9(8,1%) patients lived 6 months, 63 (57,2%) patients lived 12 months, 59 (53,3%) patients lived 18 months, 57(51,8%) patients lived 24 months, 47 (42,7%) patients lived 36 months, 41 (37,2%) patients lived 48 months and 35 (31,8%) patients 60 lived months and still are alive. The median survival rate was 51,8 + 1,5 months.

Conclusions: results of neoadjuvant intra-arterial chemotherapy in the treatment of gastric cancer patients proved to be effective in 84,5% of patients. In 42,6% of patients, grade 3-4 therapeutic pathomorphosis was noted. The 3- and 5-year survival rates were 42,7% and 31,8%, respectively. The median survival rate was 51,8 + 1,5 months.

Preoperative intra-arterial chemotherapy may be the method of choice for improving the survival and quality of life of patients with gastric cancer.
