Results of Surgical Treatment of Gastric Cancer

Abstract: Background/Aim: The extent of gastric resection and the role of lymphadenectomy in the treatment of gastric cancer are controversial. Methods: This study evaluates the results of radical gastric resection (D2 lymphadenectomy) in 375 patients with a gastric carcinoma operated according to a prospective protocol. Results: Total gastrectomy was performed in 196 and a subtotal gastrectomy in 179 patients, with an operative mortality of 3.5 and 2.8%. The presence of lymph node metastasis was related to the depth of… Show more

“…These results differ from other published results -both in Spain and in other developed countries (8,(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29) -and can be explained, only in part, by the inclusion of palliative and emergency procedures (also by the sealing of colostomy in patients who have undergone a procedure using the Hartmann technique in rectal cancer), even though the differences in characteristics of the series included should also be taken into account (30). The high relapse rate at 6 months' follow-up occurred especially in palliative surgery cases, and the possibility that they could really be a progression of the disease could not be ruled out.…”

“…Las características del proceso asistencial y los resultados fueron, a grandes rasgos, los esperados, excepto la elevada mortalidad al alta y hasta los 6 meses de seguimiento en el cáncer de esófago, así como la frecuencia de complicaciones y reintervenciones en las diversas cirugías evaluadas. Estos resultados contrastan con algunos publicados -tanto en España como en otros países desarrollados (8,(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)-, y pueden explicarse, sólo en parte, por la inclusión de intervenciones de carácter paliativo y urgentes (también por el cierre de la colostomía en los pacientes intervenidos con la técnica de Hartmann en el cáncer de recto), aunque también debe tenerse en cuenta las diferencias en las características de las series incluidas (30). La elevada presentación de recidivas hasta los 6 meses de seguimiento se dio especialmente en los casos de cirugía paliativa no pudiendo descartarse que se tratara realmente de progresiones.…”

“…La morbilidad de una gastrectomía, descrita en series nacionales e internacionales, es de 19-43% [14][15][16][17][18][19] . La morbilidad global de esta serie es comparable a esos datos; sin embargo, las complicaciones graves que requirieron una reintervención se produjeron en sólo 6%.…”

“…La morbilidad global de esta serie es comparable a esos datos; sin embargo, las complicaciones graves que requirieron una reintervención se produjeron en sólo 6%. La mortalidad también fue baja, comparada a series de gastrectomía abierta que describen entre 1-11% de mortalidad [14][15][16][17][18][19] . Recientemente reportamos nuestra experiencia de los últimos 16 años de gastrectomía abierta (Norero E. et al Observaciones no publicadas, 2013), en la cual tuvimos 5,4% de mortalidad postoperatoria, una morbilidad de 29% y una estadía postoperatoria de 11 días.…”

“…To date only R0-resection has been associated with a proved curative efficacy [6,7]. In Western countries, most patients with locally advanced disease at the time of diagnosis still develop a tumor recurrence even after ''curative'' resection with extended lymphadenectomy [8][9][10][11]. The chance of achieving a complete resection in locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC) is approximately 50% [12].…”
