Abstract

Despite the improvements in the therapeutic options and increasing significance of sequential strategies for advanced gastric cancer (AGC), the prognosis remains poor. Takahari et al previously reported that performance status (PS) ≥1, not receiving gastrectomy, the number of metastatic sites ≥2 and high serum ALP level are associated with poor prognosis and proposed a JCOG prognostic index by analyzing patients enrolled in clinical trials. However, the suitability assessment and utility of the JCOG prognostic index in real-world patients with AGC were unknown.
