Detection of secondary upper gastrointestinal tract cancer during follow-up esophagogastroduodenoscopy after gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) may contribute to early detection of secondary cancer in the upper gastrointestinal tract although the clinical relevance of follow-up after gastrectomy remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the effectiveness of follow-up EGD by investigating the incidence of secondary cancer in any part of the upper gastrointestinal tract.

Methods

Data from 1438 patients who underwent curative partial gastrectomy for primary gastric cancer between 2008 and 2014 and follow-up EGD at least once during a 5-year follow-up period were retrospectively reviewed. Incidence rates of remnant gastric cancer, laryngeal cancer, and esophageal cancer detected after follow-up EGD were determined, and risk factors for secondary cancers were examined. The charac
