The prognosis of hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach: a propensity score-based analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To investigate whether there is a distinct difference in prognosis between hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach (HAS) and non-hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach (non-HAS) and whether HAS can benefit from radical surgery.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed 722 patients with non-HAS and 75 patients with HAS who underwent radical gastrectomy between 3 November 2009 and 17 December 2018. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was used to eliminate the bias among the patients in our study. The relationships between gastric cancer type and overall survival (OS) were evaluated by the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression.

Results

Our data demonstrate that there was no statistically significant difference in the OS between HAS and non-HAS {K-M, P = log ra
