Heterogeneity and prognosis of single organ metastases in gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While single organ metastases generally present a more optimistic prognosis compared to multiple metastases, the influence of the specific organ site for single organ metastases on prognosis remains undetermined. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the prognostic differences in late-stage gastric cancer with single organ metastasis.

Methods

Data for patients diagnosed with gastric cancer were retrieved from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database for survival analysis, covering years spanning from 2010 to 2016. Furthermore, Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox regression were utilized to analyze overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS). Additionally, given the impact of confounders and bias on the results, prognos
