Risk factors for death from other diseases after curative gastrectomy and lymph node dissection for gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent advances in treatment are expected to bring a cure to more patients with gastric cancer (GC). Focusing on the risk of death from other diseases (DOD) has become a crucial issue in patients cured of GC. The aim of this study was to elucidate the risk factors for DOD in patients who underwent curative gastrectomy with lymph node dissection for GC.

Methods

We enrolled 810 patients who underwent curative gastrectomy with lymph node dissection for GC from January 1990 to December 2014 and had no recurrence or death of GC until December 2019. We investigated the risk factors for DOD defined as death excluding death from a malignant neoplasm, accident, or suicide after gastrectomy, focusing on the perioperative characteristics at gastrectomy.
