Metastasis patterns and prognosis in patients with gastric cancer: a Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results-based analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gastric cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed malignancies, and a majority of patients with gastric cancer are diagnosed at an advanced stage. However, the association between metastatic patterns and survival outcomes in patients with advanced gastric cancer has not been fully explored. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the metastatic patterns and their association with prognosis in patients with gastric cancer.

Methods

We collected and reviewed data of patients with metastatic gastric cancer from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2010 and 2015. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to create survival curves, and the Cox proportional regression model was applied to analyze the association between metastatic patte
