“…In those cases where the appearances of both stomach and gastrostomy exit site were reported, there was evidence of seeding at both sites in 30 of 54 (56%), stomach only in 15 (28%), and abdominal wall only in 9 cases (17%). Where the stomach was affected, presentation was with bleeding or anaemia, own case. At the time of publication of the original reports, five cases were reported as having died and seven being still alive after an unspecified period of time; where survival duration was stated, subsequent survival appeared poor with a median survival of 4 months (range 0.5‐34 months; 40 patients).…”

Background Because of publication bias, there is uncertainty about the true incidence of tumor seeding or implantation in patients with head and neck or oesophageal cancer undergoing percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) insertion. Methods In order to obtain a more reliable estimate of risk, a systematic review was undertaken. Randomized or non‐randomized studies and case reports were identified by electronic searching. A risk of bias assessment was carried out for each study. Results Ninety‐eight cases from 74 published case reports and 1 unpublished case were identified. Synchronous distant metastases were present in 37%. Analysis of case series (6192 patients) considered to carry a moderate risk of bias suggests an incidence of seeding after PEG insertion of 0.32%. Studies carrying a lower risk of bias indicate a risk of seeding closer to 1 in 2000. Conclusion The true risk of seeding after PEG insertion is probably less than 1 in 1000.
