Abstract:
Objective To investigate the prognostic factors of EGC patients,especially the relationship between prognosis and tumor size.Methods Clinical data of 119 EGC cases from 1998 to 2002 were analyzed retrospectively.Results The overall 5-year survival rate was 90.9%.and the survival rate of patients with tumor D＜2 cm.2 cm≤D＜4 cm and D≥4 cm respectively was 100%,92.0%and 80.8%(P=0.024).In this group,tumor stage,lymph node metastasis and tumor invasion depth did not affect the survival statistically.There was no correlation between tumor size and other prognostic factors.Conclusion Tumor size is an independent prognostic factor of patients with EGC,which may have some relevance to the surgical approach of EGC.
