Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of operative modalities on the prognosis of gastric carcinoma patients suffering from various types of intra-abdominal metastasis. Methods In this study, 150 cases of gastric cancer with abdominal metastasis screened from data base, were divided by the location into peritoneal dissemination group (n=106), hepatic metastasis group (n=19) and both peritoneal dissemination and hepatic metastasis group (n=25). The surgical interventions include total resection, palliative resection and no resection. The clinicopathological parameters and prognosis were analyzed. Results The total tumor resection rate in peritoneal dissemination group (48.1%) and hepatic metastasis group (63.2%) was significantly higher than that in both peritoneal and hepatic metastasis group (20.0%), with the mean survival time (months) being 31.1, 12.8, 9.7 respectively (P<0.05). In peritoneal group, the mean survival (months) for tumor total resection, palliative and no resection subgroup was 46.3,1.7,4.8 respectively (P<0.05), whereas in hepatic metastasis group, the mean survival (months) was 17.2,4.0,5.4 respectively (P<0.05), in both peritoneal and hepatic metastasis group, the mean survival (months) was 11.2,8.9,5.0 respectively (P>0.05). Lymph nodes resection significantly prolonged survival in peritoneal dissemination group. Conclusions The prognosis of gastric cancer with peritoneal dissemination is better than with hepatic metastasis. Tumor total resection and lymph node dissection significantly improve the survival of patients suffering from peritoneal or hepatic dissemination.
