24 Background: The aim of this study was to compare the serial changes of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) after Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) with those after surgery in patients with early gastric cancer (EGC). Methods: Gastric cancer patients were prospectively enrolled from 2004 through 2007. HRQOLs of 161 EGC patients were prospectively assessed by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC-QLQ-C30) and the stomach cancer-specific module EORTC-QLQ-STO22 at the baseline, 1, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after treatments. Analysis was done using the generalized linear model and paired- ttests. Results: Of 161 patients, 48 (29.8%) underwent ESD (ESD group) and 113 (70.2%) underwent surgery (surgery group). The median age of stomach cancer patients was 57 years. Surgery group had poorer scores compared with those of ESD group in the most HRQOL factors one month after treatments ( P< 0.05), except for emotional and cognitive functioning, financial problems, anxiety, and hair loss. However, most of the functional and symptom scales after surgery subsequently improved and became insignificant until 24 months of follow up. Only 3 parameters including physical functioning, diarrhea and body image in ESD group still remained better until 24 months after treatment ( P< 0.05). Conclusions: Because poorer HRQOLs after surgery in the early post-treatment periods become insignificant during long-term follow-up, surgical treatment should not be discouraged in EGC treatment solely based on the QOL aspects.

e15508 Background: The incidence of gastric cancer is much higher in China than in any other country. Although the overall survival rate of patients with gastric cancer has increased due to the advancements in multimodality management. However, significant morbidity, including loss of appetite, dysphagia, nausea, and vomiting is still associated with gastric cancer patients. These symptoms have a profound impact on nutritional status and quality of life in these patients. The primary objective of the present study was to assess the nutritional status and quality of life in gastric cancer patients. Methods: A preliminary assessment of patients’ nutritional status, quality of life, and medical characteristics was conducted using the Patient Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer quality of life (QOL-C30, version 3) questionnaires. The PG-SGA is a clinical nutrition assessment tool used to evaluate oncology patients. The nutritional status of the patients fell into three groups by a score of PG-SGA-A, -B, and C. Results: A preliminary assessment of patients’ nutritional status, quality of life, and medical characteristics was conducted using the Patient Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer quality of life (QOL-C30, version 3) questionnaires. The PG-SGA is a clinical nutrition assessment tool used to evaluate oncology patients. The nutritional status of the patients fell into three groups by a score of PG-SGA-A, -B, and C. Conclusions: These results suggest that the nutritional status of the patients with stomach cancer may impact on their QoL. It is necessary to develop nutritional intervention to improve QoL in gastric cancer patients.
