Prognostic Factors in Gastric Cancer

Abstract

Aim: To identify the prognostic factors of the gastric cancer cases that had been operated in our department. Materials and Method: The record of 81 patients out of 363 gastric cancer patients, who had been performed the curative resection between January 1990 - December.2000, were retrospectively reviewed. Age, gender, initial symptoms, type of surgery, additive organ resections, postoperative complications, tumor lacalization, tumor size, macroscopic type of the tumor, tumor histologic type, depth of invasion, number of dissected lymph nodes, number of metastatic lymph nodes and the effects of prognostic factors on survival were investigated. Results: Of the 81 patients, 51 were men and 30 were women and the mean age was 57.8 (24-77) years. Age had no significant effect on survival. The univariant analysis of the examined factors showed that;proximal location and diffuse involvement(p=0.005), tumor size larger than 10 cm (p=0.002), macroscopic type of the tumor(bormann type IV) (p=0.008), depth of invasion (p=0.024), number of metastatic lymph nodes larger than 6 (p=0.026), TNM classification(stage IIIB) (p=0.035) were the factors affecting survival. Multivariant Cox regression analysis revealed that number of metastatic lymph nodes, the ratio of the metastatic nodes to the total number of nodes, TNM were independent predictors of survival. Conclusion: In this study, number of metastatic lymph nodes, the ratio of the metastatic nodes to the total number of nodes, TNM were found as independent predictors of survival. However, our case number was not enough make such a definite interpretation about the effect of the gastric wall invasion and lymphadenectomy on survival, Thefefore, the number of the early cases should incerase, and also the surgical procedure should be standardized.
