Total gastrectomy offers a palliative option for advanced gastric cancer when radical cure is impossible. This surgical approach aimed to improve survival for patients with unresectable tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Gastroenterology

Context:

  • Advanced gastric cancer often presents with extensive lymph node and local invasion.
  • Radical surgical cure is frequently not achievable in such cases, necessitating palliative approaches.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate total gastrectomy as a palliative surgical alternative for patients with advanced gastric cancer.
  • To assess the feasibility and outcomes of palliative total gastrectomy in improving patient survival.

Summary:

  • Thirty-one patients with advanced gastric cancer underwent palliative total gastrectomy and omentectomy.
  • Indications included tumors of the gastric corpus with extensive nodal (N2) or organ invasion (liver, pancreas, colon) and metastases.
  • The primary goal was gastric tumor ablation, accepting residual disease in adjacent structures.

Impact:

  • The study reported 3 postoperative deaths and 9 cases of anastomotic fistulae.
  • The average survival observed was 9 months (range 6-13 months), indicating a limited but potentially beneficial palliative effect.
