Abstract:
The recent shift in the population from patients presenting with gastric cancer to patients presenting with early-stage lesions has led to renewed interest in identifying prognostic factors for this type of tumor. Conveniently for surgeons, prognostic factors can be divided into groups that are assessed preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively. Despite the explosion of interest in genetic and molecular markers for gastric cancer, the feature best correlated with patient survival continues to be tumor stage at the time of diagnosis.
