Time interval after various types of gastrectomy until metachronous multiple gastric cancer: Analysis of data from a nationwide Japanese survey.

ABSTRACT: The factors influencing the time interval from the initial surgery for gastric cancer to the detection of metachronous multiple gastric cancer (MMGC) remain to be elucidated. The present study was performed to evaluate the association between the type of initial gastrectomy or reconstruction procedure and the time interval from initial gastrectomy to the detection of MMGC. A questionnaire survey on remnant stomach cancer was performed by the Japanese Society for Gastro-Surgical Pathophysiology in 2018. Participating facilities were requested to indicate the number of patients who underwent surgery for MMGC between 2003 and 2017, in association with the time interval from the initial gastrectomy until treatment for MMGC by type of initial gastrectomy or reconstruction procedure.
