摘要

Background

Perioperative chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and docetaxel has improved survival in patients with locally advanced resectable gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinomas in Europe.

Methods

We report two cases of laparoscopic curative resection with perioperative docetaxel-based chemotherapy for advanced gastroesophageal junction or gastric adenocarcinoma and investigated variations in Claudin18.2 expressions associated with chemotherapy.

Results

Preoperative four-cycle docetaxel-based chemotherapy enabled laparoscopic total gastrectomy with distal esophagectomy via trans-hiatal approach or laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with extensive lymph node dissection. Postoperative left inferior pulmonary arterial thrombosis and chylous ascites recovered with pharmacotherapy and lipiodol lymphatic embolization. Despite discontinuing postoperative one-cycle chemotherapy, no recurrence was observed for over 1.5 and 1 year. Immunohistochemical staining showed increased Claudin18.2 expression in undifferentiated adenocarcinomas in the resected specimens than in pre-chemotherapeutic biopsies.

Conclusion

Perioperative docetaxel-based chemotherapy was effective for Japanese patients with gastroesophageal junction and gastric adenocarcinoma, suggesting a combination treatment with anti-Claudin18.2 antibody as neoadjuvant or first-line chemotherapy.
