Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effect of combined resection for the treatment of T(4) gastric cancer and to refine the indication for en bloc dissection.
METHODSClinical data of 69 cases receiving combined resection were analyzed retrospectively, and compared with those of 45 cases undergoing palliative gastrectomy.
RESULTSOf 69 cases, 54 patients underwent curative combined resection, 15 patients underwent palliative combined resection, including 24 with transverse colectomy, 22 with pancreatico-splenectomy, 8 with left lateral lobectomy of liver, 6 with pancreatico-splenectomy and transverse colectomy, 5 with pancreaticoduodenectomy, 2 with cholecystectomy, 1 with splenectomy, 1 with phrenectomy. The total rate of lymph node metastasis was 88.4%; the operative mortality rate was 4.3%; the morbidity rate was 14.5%. The postoperatively 1-, 3-, 5-year survival rates of CR group and NCR group were 66.9%, 39.1%, 26.8% and 33.4%, 7.4%, 0% respectively (P < 0.01). The five year survival rate of curative resection group was 34.1%.
CONCLUSIONSAn en bloc combined resection can cure some T(4) patients, and improve the five-year survival rate.
