Summary
Function-preserving gastrectomy enhances early gastric cancer treatment by minimizing invasion and preserving organ function, improving patient quality of life post-surgery. This approach focuses on stomach physiology and background mucosa for better outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Surgical Gastroenterology
Background:
- Gastric cancer is a prevalent malignancy globally.
- Increasing early gastric cancer detection rates due to improved gastroscopy and health awareness.
- High 5-year survival rates for early gastric cancer necessitate focus on postoperative quality of life.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review recent advancements in function-preserving surgery for gastric cancer.
- To provide a reference for clinical application of these surgical techniques.
Main Methods:
- Review of recent research and clinical progress in function-preserving gastrectomy.
- Emphasis on integrating oncological principles with gastric physiology and histology.
- Surgical design focused on minimizing invasion and preserving residual stomach and surrounding organ function.
Main Results:
- Shift from traditional radical gastrectomy to function-preserving approaches.
- Function-preserving surgery aims to maintain stomach motility, secretion, and surrounding organ function.
- Improved postoperative quality of life is a key outcome.
Conclusions:
- Function-preserving gastrectomy represents a significant evolution in gastric cancer surgery.
- This approach offers improved survival and quality of life for gastric cancer patients.
- Further clinical application and research are warranted.
