    Abstract: Young survivors of gastric cancer (GC) have better prognoses than elderly patients, yet their disease-specific survival (DSS) has received little attention. Patients and Methods Data on young patients (aged ≤40 years) with GC undergoing resections at three Chinese institutions (n = 542) and from the SEER database (n = 533) were retrospectively analyzed. Three-year conditional disease-specific survival (CS3) was assessed. The effects of well-known prognostic factors over time were analyzed by time-dependent Cox regression. Results Overall, young Chinese patients with GC had a better 5-year DSS than U.S. patients (62.8% vs. 54.1%; p & lt; .05). The disease-specific mortality likelihood of the entire cohort was not constant over time, with most deaths occurring during the first 3 years after surgery but peaking at 1 and 2 years in China and the U.S., respectively. Based on 5-year survivorship, the CS3 rates of both groups were similar (90.9% [U.S.] vs. 91.5% [China] ; p & gt; .05). Cox regression showed that for Chinese patients, site, size, T stage, and N stage were independent prognostic factors at baseline (p & lt; .05). For U.S. patients, grade, T stage. and N stage significantly affected DSS at baseline (p & lt; .05). In both groups, only T stage continuously affected DSS within 3 years after gastrectomy. However, for both groups, the initial well-known prognostic factors lost prognostic significance after 5 years of survival (all p & gt; .05). Although the 5-year DSS rates of young Chinese patients with T3 and T4a disease were significantly better than those of young U.S. patients, in each T stage, the CS3 of both regions trended toward consistency over time. Conclusion For young patients with GC, the factors that predict survival at baseline vary over time. Although the initial 5-year DSS is heterogeneous, insight into conditional survival will help clinicians evaluate the long-term prognoses of survivors while ignoring population differences.

    Abstract: The benefits of neoadjuvant therapy for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (GC) are increasingly recognized. The 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Staging Manual first proposed ypTNM staging, but its accuracy is controversial. This study aims to develop a modified ypTNM staging. Patients and Methods Clinicopathological data of 1,791 patients who underwent curative-intent gastrectomy after neoadjuvant therapy in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database, as the development cohort, were retrospectively analyzed. Modified ypTNM staging was established based on overall survival (OS). We compared the prognostic performance of the AJCC 8th edition ypTNM staging and the modified staging for patients after neoadjuvant therapy. Results In the development cohort, the 5-year OS for AJCC stages I, II, and III was 58.8%, 39.1%, and 21.6%, respectively, compared with 69.9%, 54.4%, 34.4%, 24.1%, and 13.6% for modified ypTNM stages IA, IB, II, IIIA, and IIIB. The modified staging had better discriminatory ability (C-index: 0.620 vs. 0.589, p & lt; .001), predictive homogeneity (likelihood ratio chi-square: 140.71 vs. 218.66, p & lt; .001), predictive accuracy (mean difference in Bayesian information criterion: 64.94; net reclassification index: 35.54%; integrated discrimination improvement index: 0.032; all p & lt; .001), and model stability (time-dependent receiver operating characteristics curves) over AJCC. Decision curve analysis showed that the modified staging achieved a better net benefit than AJCC. In external validation (n = 266), the modified ypTNM staging had superior prognostic predictive power (all p & lt; .05). Conclusion We have developed and validated a modified ypTNM staging through multicenter data that is superior to the AJCC 8th edition ypTNM staging, allowing more accurate assessment of the prognosis of patients with GC after neoadjuvant therapy. Implications for Practice The 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Staging Manual first proposed ypTNM staging, but its accuracy is controversial. Based on multi-institutional data, this study developed a modified ypTNM staging, which is superior to the AJCC 8th edition ypTNM staging, allowing more accurate assessment of the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer after neoadjuvant therapy.
