Risk factors for remnant gastric cancer after distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer: a retrospective database review.

ABSTRACT: The number of patients with remnant gastric cancer (RGC) following gastrectomy for gastric cancer (GC) is increasing due to the increasing number of patients undergoing function-preserving gastrectomy and improved outcomes for patients with GC. A few studies involving a small number of cases reported male sex, old age, differentiated type, tumor depth and synchronous multiple GC were associated with RGC development. However, the risk factors for RGC development had not been fully understood. This study aimed to examine the clinicopathological features, followed up patients with GC after they underwent distal gastrectomy (DG), and evaluated the potential risk factors for RGC development. A retrospective database review of 438 patients who underwent DG for GC at a single institution, from 20
