1 Società Triveneta di Chirurgia Aviano, 25 Febbraio 2012 Carcinoma Gastrico Localmente Avanzato:Terapie Integrate Progetto NEOX-RT Antonino De Paoli UO Oncologia Radioterapica, CRO Aviano

2 Gastric Cancer - Current Issues Changing epidemiology (diagnosis and treatment implications) Curative surgery (mainstay of treatment) Adjuvant chemotherapy (still controversial) Adjuvant chemoradiation (possible benefit) Perioperative chemotherapy (possible benefit)

3 Neo-adjuvant and adjuvant therapy for gastric cancer: different strategies Post-operative Chemoradiotherapy (trend to preoperative CT-RT in academic centers) Peri-operative Chemotherapy (ECF- 5FU/cisplatin) Postoperative CT Post-operative Chemotherapy (S-1 or combination)

4 Ongoing Trials US (Intergroup Trial) Post-op 5FU/LV + RT/5FU vs ECF + RT/5FU (Does ECF improve efficacy of post-op CRT?) EU Periop ECX vs Periop ECX-BEV (Is there a role of biologics?) (MAGIC-B) Preop ECX-Surg-postop ECX vs RT/X-DDP (CRITICS) (What is the role of postop CT-RT?) Preop ECX x3 vs ECX x2-rt/x+postop ECX (EORTC) (What is the role of preop CT-RT?) Japan Adjuvant S1 vs Surgery alone

5 Cosa fare nella pratica clinica T3 N0 T2/3/4 N+ no terapia terapia con 5FU, o ECF o CDDP, de Gramont MitC. Se chirurgia inadeguata (Lfn <15 LN, R1) RT-CT Se chirurgia adeguata, ma elevato N-ratio (>25%) RT-CT Cascinu S - IRST Meldola, 2010
