Abstract

Curative gastrectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy using S‑1 is a standard treatment for stage II/III gastric cancer in Japan. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the prognostic relevance of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR)2 expression in patients with stage II/III gastric cancer that underwent postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with S‑1. Formalin‑fixed paraffin‑embedded surgical specimens were retrospectively examined in 167 patients with stage II/III gastric cancer that underwent curative gastrectomy followed by adjuvant S1 chemotherapy. FGFR2 expression was measured using immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. The IHC results for FGFR2 were as follows: Grade 1+, 32; grade 2+, 80; grade 3+, 55 patients. The FGFR2 expression level was not significantly associated with relapse‑free or overall survival rates. However, in the diffuse type, the FGFR2 expression level tended to be negatively correlated with relapse‑free survival. In particular, the proportion of patients who recurred >5 years following surgery was significantly larger in the FGFR2 grade 3+ group than in the grade 1+, 2+ group (4/22 vs. 1/35; P=0.047). The recurrent sites of long‑term failure were mostly peritoneum among the diffuse type. To the best of our knowledge, the present study indicated for the first time that FGFR2 could predict long‑term failure of adjuvant S‑1 chemotherapy in curative advanced gastric cancer. There was no interaction between FGFR2 expression and patient survival outcomes in stage II/III gastric cancer. Patients with FGFR2 3+ in stage II/III gastric cancer should carefully be followed‑up for >5 years after surgery.
