Objective:
To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics, therapeutic principles and prognosis of multifocal gastric carcinomas.
Methods:
The data of 22 patients with multifocal gastric carcinomas surgically treated at our hospital from January 1999 to December 2007 were reviewed retrospectively.
Results:
The multifocal gastric carcinomas occurred frequently in the elderly men; the percentage of early stage gastric carcinoma was 28.9%. Eighteen patients received radical resection while 4 patients palliative resection. The 1, 3 and 5-year survival rates were 80.9%, 52.4% and 28.6% respectively.
Conclusions:
A thorough gastric examination should be made before and during resection so as to avoid a missing diagnosis. The postoperative survival in patients with multifocal gastric carcinomas is similar to those with a solitary lesion.
