Phase II study of adjuvant chemotherapy of S-1 plus oxaliplatin for patients with stage III gastric cancer after D2 gastrectomy.

TLDR
S-1 and oxaliplatin therapy is suggested to be manageable and safe with optimal dose reduction and delay in selected patients for stage III gastric cancer after D2 gastrectomy, and warrants further evaluation in larger studies.
Abstract
Background The Adjuvant Chemotherapy Trial of S-1 for Gastric Cancer (ACTS-GC) demonstrated a survival benefit by adjuvant S-1 monotherapy in patients who had undergone curative resection of stage II/III gastric cancer, but there is still a need to improve the efficacy of treatment of stage III disease. We investigated the tolerability and safety of S-1 and oxaliplatin as adjuvant chemotherapy for stage III gastric cancer.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the efficacy and safety of perioperative and postoperative S-1 and oxaliplatin (SOX) compared with postoperative capecitabine (CAPO) in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer undergoing D2 gastrectomy.

Piperlongumine potentiates the antitumor efficacy of oxaliplatin through ROS induction in gastric cancer cells.

TL;DR: P Piperlongumine (PL), an alkaloid isolated from Piper longum L., has recently been identified as a potent agent against cancer cells in vitro and in vivo and it is found that application of its combination may be more effective for the treatment of gastric cancer than oxaliplatin alone.

Three-year outcomes of a phase II study of adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 plus docetaxel for stage III gastric cancer after curative D2 gastrectomy

TL;DR: On the basis of 3-year follow-up data, postoperative adjuvant therapy with S-1 plus docetaxel yielded promising OS and DFS in stage IIIA gastric cancer patients who had undergone D2 gastrectomy, and it is believed that this regimen is a candidate for future phase III trials studying the optimal adjUvant chemotherapy regimen for stage III Gastric cancer.
