Introduction: 5FU can be converted to its active metabolite fluoro-deoxyuridine monophosphate (FdUMP) through two pathways: the orotate phosphoribosyl transferase-ribonucleotide reductase (OPRT-RR) pathway and the thymidine phosphorylase-thymidine kinase (TP-TK) pathway. We investigated the mechanism underlying 5FU-resistance, focusing on the changes in the 5FU metabolisms. Materials and methods: MKN45 and 5FU-resistant MKN45/F2R cells were treated with 5FU or fluoro-deoxyuridine (FdU) in combination with hydroxyurea (HU) or tipiracil (TPI). The amount of FdUMP was determined by the density of the upper band of thymidylate synthase (TS) on Western blotting, and the cell viability was calculated using an MTT assay. Results: The MKN45/F2R cells exhibited 5FU resistance (13.3-fold) and showed decreased OPRT and increased TP levels. In both cell lines, the FdUMP after treatment with 5FU was decreased when RR was inhibited by HU but not when TP was inhibited by TPI, indicating that FdUMP was synthesized from 5FU only through the OPRT-RR pathway. A metabolome analysis revealed the loss of intracellular deoxyribose 1-phosphate (dR1P) in both cells, which is required for the synthesis of FdU from 5FU by TP. The knockdown of OPRT caused decreased FdUMP and resistance to 5FU in MKN45 cells. After the knockdown of TK, the FdUMP after treatment with FdU was decreased in MKN45 cells. However, it was not changed in MKN45/F2R cells, indicating that FdUMP could not be synthesized from FdU by TK in MKN45/F2R cells. Interestingly, TP inhibition caused increased FdUMP after treatment with 5FU and reversed the resistance to 5FU in MKN45/F2R cells. However, TP inhibition did not affect the sensitivity to 5FU in MKN45 cells. Conclusions: In MKN45/F2R cells, FdUMP can easily be reduced through TP-TK pathway, leading to 5FU resistance. The inhibition of TP reversed the resistance to 5FU, suggesting that combination of 5FU and TPI is a promising cancer therapy.

Previously, we focused on the mobility of gastro-pancreatic fold, introduced three approaches, such as medial, right sided, and left sided approaches, and selected the appropriate approach depending on the case-specific personalized anatomy. Now, we preoperatively select the appropriate approach based on the preoperative 3D simulation. Using 3D simulation, we can observe the operative view at the same angle as laparoscopic view, intuitively image the intraoperative view, and decide the appropriate approach depending on each case-specific anatomy. So far, we preoperatively analyzed 220 cases of laparoscopic gastrectomies (LG) and investigated the objective parameters to select the suitable approach for suprapancreatic LN dissection based on the 3D simulation images. We then found the several parameters, which are correlated with the difficulties of suprapancreatic LN dissection, such as the angles and the distances of the celiac artery and its branches and the relative positions between pancreas and these arteries. Furthermore, to investigate the impacts of preoperative 3D simulation on the postoperative complications after LG, we reviewed the 458 LG cases including 300 cases before 3D introduction and 158 cases after 3D introduction. Then, we found that blood loss, drain-amylase on postoperative day 1, and pancreatic fistula Grade I and Grade II (Clavien-Dindo classification) were significantly reduced after introduction of 3D simulation. In this presentation, we will report the novel 3D specific surgical anatomy based on the 3D simulation, which may be involved in the safety and the accuracy of lymph node dissection in LG as well as the results of the reviews and the movie regarding the procedures based on the 3D specific surgical anatomy.

Background
Peritoneal metastasis (P1) is the most frequent and crucial factor for advanced gastric cancer (GC). Intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy with taxanes has local effects due to high concentrations in the peritoneal cavity. Combination of IP and systemic chemotherapy followed by gastrectomy after response is a promising option for GC with P1.
Methods
We evaluated the safety and efficacy of surgery in 4 clinical trials of chemotherapy regimens, 3 regimens (S-1/paclitaxel [PTX] + IP PTX, S-1/oxaliplatin + IP PTX, capecitabine/cisplatin + IP docetaxel) in P1 patients and 1 regimen (S-1/PTX + IP PTX) in positive peritoneal cytology (P0CY1) patients. Gastrectomy was recommended when peritoneal cytology turned negative, and the disappearance or marked shrinkage of P1 was confirmed by laparoscopy. Combination chemotherapy was restarted after surgery and repeated with appropriate modification.
Results
A total of 260 (P1 222, P0CY1 38) patients were enrolled in the clinical trials. Gastrectomy was performed in 124 (P1 93, P0CY1 31) after response to chemotherapy. The mean peritoneal cancer index was 9.4 (SD 9.7) in 93 P1 patients. Total and distal gastrectomy were performed in 100 and 24 patients, respectively. Curative (R0) resection was achieved in 80 patients (65%). Histological response of grade Ib or higher (viable tumor cells ≦2/3) was obtained in 55 patients (44%). The MSTs of P0CY1 and P1 patients were 31.0 months (95% CI 25.7 months-not reached) and 26.3 months (95% CI 21.3-34.2 months) since the initiation of chemotherapy, respectively. The MST and median PFS of all patients were 21.3 months (95% CI 15.6-26.3 months) and 14.2 months (95% CI 9.9-17.3 months) since the gastrectomy. Postoperative complications of Clavien-Dindo grade II-IVa occurred in 11 patients (9%). There were no treatment-related deaths.
Conclusions
Gastrectomy after confirming the elimination of P1 or CY1 by IP plus systemic chemotherapy is safe and could achieve more prolonged survival.

Background: Intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy is a promising treatment option for gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis. We previously reported the safety and efficacy of IP paclitaxel (PTX) plus S-1 based regimens in clinical trials. However, some patients with peritoneal metastasis cannot take oral anticancer drugs because of obstruction or dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, we designed a regimen combining IP PTX with mFOLFOX6, and performed a multicenter, single-arm phase I/II study.
Methods: Eligibility criteria included: pathologically proven gastric adenocarcinoma; peritoneal metastasis; inadequate oral intake; adequate organ functions and age between 20-80 years. mFOLFOX6 was administered at the standard doses on days 1 and 15, and PTX was administered at 20 mg/m2 on days 1, 8 and 15 every 4 weeks. The primary endpoint was 1-year overall survival (OS) rate. Secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), time to treatment failure (TTF), response rate, negative conversion rate on peritoneal cytology and safety.
Results: We enrolled 36 patients and evaluated efficacy and safety in 34 patients who received at least one dose of protocol treatment. Sixteen patients had malignant ascites before treatment. The median number of courses was 6 (range 1-17). The 1-year OS rate was 55.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 37.9%-72.8%). The median PFS was 7.5 months (95% CI, 5.1-12.5 months). The median TTF was 5.6 months (95% CI, 4.4-7.7 months). The best overall response was stable disease in all three patients with target lesions. The negative conversion rate on peritoneal cytology was 73.1% (95% CI, 52.2%-88.4%). The frequent grade 3/4 toxicities included neutropenia, leukopenia, hypokalemia and elevation of alanine transaminase. There were no treatment-related deaths.
Conclusions: Combination chemotherapy of mFOLFOX6 plus IP PTX is well tolerated and active in gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis and inadequate oral intake.

Background
To elucidate recurrence pathophysiology,the prognostic effect of peritoneal cancer cell spillage during surgery was evaluated in patients (pts) who underwent potentially curative (R0) gastric cancer (GC) or pancreatic cancer (PC) surgery.

Methods
Pts with advanced GC (≧pT2 MP) or PC who underwent R0 surgery between 2010 and 2017 were enrolled. Peritoneal washing (PW) fluid before (PW-Pre) and after surgery (PW-Post) was collected and cultured to detect viable cancer cells.

Results
In 100 consecutive pts with advanced GC negative for PW-Pre-cytology (CY0) and PW-Pre cancer cell culture [CCC(-)], 53 pts showed PW-Post CCC(+) and 47 had PW-Post CCC(-). No clinicopathological difference was observed between the two cohorts. Recurrences (peritoneum:7, liver:3, distant lymph node:9, local:1) occurred in 20 (37.7%) pts with PW-Post CCC(+). No recurrence was observed in pts with PW-Post CCC(-). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that PW-Post CCC(+) was an independent risk factor for recurrence (Odds 60.3, P = 0.005). The 5-year relapse-free survival rate was 45.4% in pts with PW-Post CCC(+), and 100% in pts with PW-Post CCC(-) (P < 0.0001).
In 53 consecutive pts with PC with CY0, 19 (36.5%) showed PW-Pre CCC(+). In 33 pts with PW-Pre CCC(-), 25 (75.7%) developed PW-Post CCC(+), and 8 (24.3%) remained at PW-Post CCC(-). No clinicopathological difference was observed between pts with PW-CCC(+) and PW-CCC(-). Recurrences (peritoneum:8, liver:16, lung:4, distant lymph node:2, local:9) occurred in 32/44 (72.7%) pts with PW-CCC(+). One (12.5%) of 8 pts with PW-CCC(-) developed local recurrence. Multivariate logistic analysis showed PW-CCC(+) as an independent risk factor for recurrence after PC surgery (Odds 38.7, P = 0.003).

Conclusion
PW-CCC as peritoneal liquid biopsy is a promising predictive biomarker for recurrence after R0 GC or R0 PC surgery. This may rationalize intra-operative intra-peritoneal therapy, and help determine adjuvant chemotherapy intensity.

Background. Addition of trastuzumab to chemotherapy is the standard first-line therapy of HER2-positive advanced or recurrent gastric cancer. However, anti-HER2 therapy did not demonstrate a survival advantage in second line setting of these patients. The KSCC study group conducted the study to assess the change in HER2 status and to identify possible biomarkers for acquired resistance after use of trastuzumab.
Patients and Method. Key inclusion criteria were as follows; advanced or recurrent gastric adenocarcinoma with HER2-positive status (IHC3+ or IHC2+ with FISH amplification) before trastuzumab therapy; diagnosed with progressive disease following trastuzumab therapy; pathologically confirmed adenocarcinoma within 3 months following completion of trastuzumab therapy. We collected biopsy samples from patients who had developed resistance to trastuzumab and evaluated HER2 status before and after. Amplification of EGFR and c-met, as well as PIK3CA mutation were comparatively analyzed if samples were available.
Results. Biopsy samples, clinical data and information of formalin fixing conditions were collected from 33 eligible patients as the full analysis set. HER2 loss was identified in 20 patients (60.6%) with refractory disease. IHC showed that the rate of HER2 overexpression was remarkably decreased after therapy (pre-HER2 IHC 3+: 24 [72.7%] vs. post-HER2 3+: 13 [39.4%]). It was found that non-use of 10% neutral buffered formalin for fixing significantly reduced the rate of HER2-positive status. EGFR amplification, c-met amplification, and PIK3CA gene mutation before and after trastuzumab therapy was observed in 9.4% and 3.6%, 17.2% and 4.0%, and 4.0% and 4.2% of cases, respectively.
Conclusions. It was suggested that re-evaluation of HER2 status is necessary for appropriate use of anti-HER2 targeted therapy beyond disease progression. Our results also highlighted the importance of formalin fixing conditions for HER2 testing.

Background: TAS-102 (Lonsurf®), which contains trifluridine (FTD) and tipiracil hydrochloride, is approved for treatment of advanced colorectal cancer. TAS-102 was also reportedly effective to patients with metastatic colorectal cancer refractory to fluorouracil (5-FU)-based standard chemotherapies. However, it remains unclear about the differences in action between FTD and 5-FU. As TAS-102 is currently under development for treatment of gastric cancer, we analyzed mechanisms of action of FTD to gastric cancer cells, paying attention to behaviors of intracellular metabolisms, compared to 5-FU.
Methods: Human gastric cancer cell line, MKN45 cells were assigned to 3 groups that were 5-FU-treated cells, FTD-treated cells and control cells. Intracellular metabolites including FTD and phosphorylated FTD derived from these cells were measured by using Capillary Electrophoresis Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (CE-TOFMS) system.
Results: FTD exhibited to possess anticancer effect as similar to 5-FU in human gastric cancer cells. Metabolomic analysis revealed that FTD was incorporated into gastric cancer cells and phosphorylated to triphosphate form. In pyrimidine metabolism, dUMP was increased due to the inhibition of TS activity in both 5-FU and FTD-treated cells. However, dTTP, generally reduced under the condition of TS inhibition, was increased in FTD-treated cells, suggesting that FTD exerted other effects on this pathway in gastric cancer cells. In 5-FU-treated cells, serine and glycine synthesis was accelerated, and the intermediate metabolites in tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle were largely increased and seemed to be supplied from glutaminolysis. On the other hand, the similar effects on metabolic profile were not observed in FTD-treated cells.
Conclusion: The metabolic fluctuation in FTD-treated gastric cancer cells was totally smaller than that in 5-FU-treated cells. It suggests that FTD has the other mechanisms than anti-metabolic action in its anticancer effect.
