Gastric carcinoma. A 25-year experience.

G M Larson

    Summary

    Advanced gastric cancer (adenocarcinoma of the stomach) often presents at late stages, leading to poor prognoses despite surgical intervention. Early diagnosis is crucial for improving survival rates in stomach cancer patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Adenocarcinoma of the stomach is frequently diagnosed at advanced stages (III or IV) in patients undergoing surgical treatment.
    • A 25-year review of 101 patients highlights challenges in treating advanced gastric cancer.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of surgical treatment for adenocarcinoma of the stomach.
    • To identify factors influencing survival and palliation in gastric cancer patients.
    • To emphasize the importance of early gastric cancer diagnosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of case records for 101 patients treated for gastric adenocarcinoma over 25 years.
    • Analysis of disease stage, surgical procedures (curative resection, bypass gastrojejunostomy), operative mortality, and survival rates.

    Main Results:

    • Only 46 patients were eligible for curative procedures, with a 5-year survival rate of 16.7%.
    • Overall operative mortality was 25%, decreasing to 15% in the last decade.
    • Subtotal gastric resection and bypass gastrojejunostomy offered short-term palliation, with bypass being less durable.

    Conclusions:

    • Advanced stage at diagnosis is the primary reason for poor outcomes in gastric cancer.
    • Prognosis is strongly correlated with disease stage at operation.
    • Early detection of gastric cancer confined to the stomach wall is critical for improving patient survival and offers the only hope for cure.
