Objectives

Narrative objectives1

With the development of multidisciplinary treatments, the outcomes of gastric cancer treatment have shown a tendency to improve. Even in the modern era of remarkable advances in drug therapy, surgery, specifically gastrectomy, remains the only curative treatment for gastric cancer. However, gastrectomy inevitably leads to postoperative complications, resulting in decreased oral intake, weight loss, and a decline in quality of life (QOL). These impacts on patients are significant.
Sarcopenia negatively affects both short-term and long-term outcomes in many gastrointestinal cancers, including gastric cancer. Due to postoperative complications and the aging population of gastric cancer patients, a certain number of patients develop sarcopenia during the perioperative period of gastrectomy.
After gastrectomy, weight loss and skeletal muscle mass loss are unavoidable due to reduced oral intake and changes in metabolic capacity caused by surgical stress. Therefore, in addition to standard gastric cancer treatment, it is desirable to implement nutritional and exercise therapy from the preoperative period through a certain period postoperatively to minimize skeletal muscle mass loss. Perioperative nutritional and exercise therapy may reduce the risk of sarcopenia and contribute to improved treatment outcomes for gastric cancer.
This study aims to investigate the impact of perioperative nutritional and exercise therapy intervention on the onset of postoperative sarcopenia in patients who are eligible for curative resection and can undergo gastrectomy. Additionally, we aim to verify the effectiveness of comparing the treatment outcomes of the perioperative nutritional and exercise therapy intervention group with historical controls from past treatment outcomes at our institution.

Interventions/Control_1

In this study, in addition to standard surgical treatment for gastric cancer, perioperative care, and postoperative follow-up, we will implement nutritional therapy (intake of nutritional supplements) for one month before and after surgery, as well as exercise therapy (strength training using TheraBand) from one month before surgery to one year post-surgery.

Nutritional Therapy
Nutritional supplements such as Meiji Balance Mini (200kcal/125ml, Meiji Co., Ltd.) and Isocal (200kcal/100ml, Nestle Japan Co., Ltd.) will be used. Before surgery, patients will consume two bottles per day from the time of case registration until the day before surgery. After surgery, patients will consume one bottle per day from day 7 to day 30 post-surgery. These nutritional supplements will be provided in addition to regular meals. The type of supplement will be selected and adjusted by a nutritionist according to the patient's preferences.

Exercise Therapy
TheraBand will be provided for patients to perform self-directed training at home. A physical therapist will instruct patients on the training menu as shown in the appendix, and patients will perform the exercises at home at least three times a week. There are three types of bands with different contraction abilities, and the physical therapist will set the load and select the appropriate band. Patients will record the details of their training sessions themselves.
