Ten-year survival outcomes of patients with potentially resectable gastric cancer: impact of clinicopathologic and treatment-related risk factors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite therapeutic advancements, gastric cancer (GC) remains a leading cause of death worldwide.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study statistically analyzed the clinicopathologic characteristics, treatments and outcomes of patients with potentially resectable GC managed at our institution between 2006 and 2010. The STROBE checklist was applied.

Results

Preoperative assessment of 164 GC patients (male: female ratio 1.87, median age 65 years) assigned 132 (80.5%) to total (56; 42.4%) or subtotal (76; 57.6%) gastrectomy. Resection margins were microscopically tumor-free (R0) in 100 (75.8%), microscopically infiltrated (R1) in 25 (18.9%) and macroscopically infiltrated (R2) in 7 (5.3%) patients. Nodal plane dissection was D0 in 34 (25.8%), D1 in 62 (47.0%)
