    ObjectivesThe aim of the present study was to clarify the effect of malnutrition as defined by the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria on compliance with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and relapse-free survival (RFS) in patients with gastric cancer.MethodsThis single-center, retrospective cohort study included 281 consecutive patients with gastric cancer who underwent radical gastrectomy for pathologic stages II and III and received postoperative S-1 adjuvant chemotherapy between April 2008 and June 2018. Treatment failure was defined as discontinuation of adjuvant chemotherapy ≤1 y. Nutritional assessment was preoperatively performed according to the GLIM criteria for all patients. We analyzed risk factors for treatment failure and poor prognostic factors for RFS using multivariate analyses.ResultsTreatment failure and recurrence were observed in 50 (17.8%) and 97 (34.5%) of the 281 patients, respectively. The median follow-up period was 52 mo. The treatment failure rate was higher (P = 0.032) and RFS was worse (P = 0.017) in the malnutrition group. In multivariate analyses, GLIM criteria-defined malnutrition was an independent risk factor for treatment failure (odds ratio = 3.110; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.020-9.470; P = 0.046). Furthermore, severe malnutrition was an independent poor prognostic factor for RFS (hazard ratio = 1.767; 95% CI, 1.132-2.759; P = 0.012).ConclusionsPreoperative malnutrition as defined by the GLIM criteria was an independent risk factor for poor compliance with adjuvant S-1 chemotherapy and a poor prognostic factor for RFS after radical gastrectomy in patients with advanced gastric cancer.Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
