Background: To determine whether there is a specific pattern of clinicopathological features that could be used to distinguish ­Borrmanntype IV gastric carcinoma from other types of gastric carcinoma. Methods: We retrospectively analysed the clinicopathological features of patients with Borrmann type IV carcinoma of the stomach.The results were compared with the features of patients who had other types of gastric carcinoma. Results: The incidence of Borrmann type IV gastric carcinomawas 11.0% (199 patients). A poorly differentiated tumour was found in 120 out of 199 patients (60.3%) with Borrmanntype IV gastric carcinoma. The positive lymph node metastasis was found in 150 out of 199 patients (75.4%) with Borrmanntype IV gastric carcinoma (P < 0.0001).The incidence of serosal invasion (91.5%) and peritoneal dissemination (37.7%) was significantly higher in these patients. Of the patients with Borrmann type IV gastric carcinoma,161 patients (80.9%) were classified as either stage IIIor IV at initial diagnosis. The curative resection rate of patientswith Borrmann type IV gastric carcinoma was lower than that of patients with other types of gastric carcinoma (P < 0.001).The survival rate was higher in patients with a curative resection(P < 0.001). The 5‐year survival rate of patients with Borrmann type IV tumour was lower than that of patients with other types of gastric carcinoma (P < 0.001).The 5‐year survival rates were 90.9% for stage I patients with Borrmann type IV gastric carcinoma and 39.5%, 18.6% and8.7% for stages II, III and IV, respectively (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Improving the prognosis for patients with Borrmanntype IV gastric carcinoma requires early detection and a curative resection.  相似文献

Primary gastric lymphoma   总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7  
This is a population-based review of 153 cases of primary gastric lymphoma. Sixty-seven (43 per cent) were histologically reviewed using the Kiel classification. There were no significant differences between reviewed and unreviewed cases. Ninety-seven per cent of all cases were of the non-Hodgkin's type. The annual incidence was constant at 1.2 per cent of gastric malignancies. The mean age was 60 years and the male to female ratio 1:8. Presenting symptoms were similar to those of gastric cancer. Twenty-one per cent had a palpable mass but one-third of these were amenable to a potentially curative resection. Some 66 per cent were resectable and 58 per cent had a macroscopic clearance of tumour. TNM stage and absolute tumour size were significant prognostic factors (P less than 0.005 and P less than 0.05 respectively) but the Kiel classification was not. The overall 5 year survival was 24 per cent. Apart from 10 patients whose only anti-tumour treatment was radiotherapy (5 year survival 36.9 per cent) no patient who did not have curative surgery survived 5 years. The 5 year survival for curative resection was 34 per cent and for curative resection plus radiotherapy was 43.5 per cent (45 and 73.4 per cent for the node negative cases respectively). A laparotomy is essential; 'curative' surgery possibly with adjuvant radiotherapy offers the best hope for cure.  相似文献

Extensive surgery for carcinoma of the gallbladder   总被引:25,自引:0,他引:25  
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to clarify the efficacy of, and define the indications for, extensive surgery for gallbladder carcinoma. METHODS: Between 1979 and 1994, 116 patients with gallbladder carcinoma underwent operation. Radical resection was performed in 80 patients. RESULTS: In 68 patients with stage III or IV disease, extensive resection including extended right hepatectomy (n = 40), pancreaticoduodenectomy (n = 23) and/or portal vein resection (n = 23) was employed to achieve complete tumour excision. The hospital mortality rate was 18 per cent. The postoperative 3- and 5-year survival rates were 44 and 33 per cent respectively in the patients with stage III disease (n = 9), and 24 and 17 per cent respectively in patients with stage IV (M0) disease (n = 29). In contrast, the postoperative survival rate for the 30 patients with stage IV (M1) disease (7 per cent at 3 years and 3 per cent at 5 years) was worse than that for patients with stage III and stage IV (M0) disease (P = 0.009 and P = 0.062 respectively). CONCLUSION: Radical resection should be undertaken for stage III and stage IV (M0) gallbladder cancer. Although portal vein resection and/or pancreaticoduodenectomy did not contribute to long-term survival, better survival was obtained than that for the unresected patients.  相似文献

Patients with metastatic gastric cancer are currently not considered operative candidates and are most often offered systemic therapy. Palliative resection of the primary tumor has been considered irrelevant to the outcome and has been recommended only for palliation of symptoms. We have examined the role of palliative gastrectomy and its impact on survival in patients with stage IV gastric cancer at initial diagnosis between 1990 and 2000. A total of 105 patients with stage IV disease were identified during this period; 81 of them (77.1%) had no resection, and 24 (22.9%) underwent palliative gastric resection. Mean survival in those without resection who received chemotherapy (with or without radiation) treatment was 5.9 months (95% confidence interval 4.2–7.6). For those with resection and adjuvant therapy, mean survival time was 16.3 months (95% confidence interval 4.3–28.8 months). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed significantly better survival in those with resection and adjuvant therapy (log-rank test, P = 0.01). Mortality and morbidity rates associated with palliative resection were 8.7% and 33.3%, respectively, which did not differ statistically from the 3.7% and 25.3% in patients who underwent curative gastrectomy during same period of time. However, the length of hospitalization (22 versus 16 days) was significantly higher compared with those without stage IV disease. These data suggest that palliative resection combined with adjuvant therapy may improve survival in a selected group of patients with stage IV gastric cancer. Palliative gastrectomy plus systemic therapy should be compared with systemic therapy alone in a randomized trial.  相似文献

Treatment of gallbladder cancer by radical resection.   总被引:45,自引:0,他引:45  
BACKGROUND: The use of radical resection for gallbladder cancer is controversial. This study evaluated results of resection for gallbladder cancer and analysed prognostic factors. METHODS: A retrospective review of 135 patients who underwent surgical resection for gallbladder cancer between 1976 and 1998 was performed. Of these, 123 patients underwent radical resection and the remaining 12 had palliative resection. The resections included 32 hepatopancreatoduodenectomies and 57 with adjuvant radiotherapy. Twelve prognostic factors were analysed. A subset of 96 patients with stage IV disease was analysed separately with respect to residual tumour level and adjuvant radiotherapy. RESULTS: Surgical resection was associated with a 5-year survival rate of 36 per cent, with a mean follow-up time of 870 days. Twenty-two patients have survived more than 5 years including three with stage IV disease. Overall operative morbidity and mortality rates were 13 and 4 per cent respectively. The 5-year survival rate decreased with disease stage: 100, 78, 69 and 11 per cent for stages I (n = 13), II (n = 19), III (n = 7) and IV (n = 96) respectively. Performance status, jaundice, histopathological type and grade, primary tumour, lymph node, distant metastasis, stage grouping, residual tumour level and adjuvant radiotherapy were significant prognostic factors. CONCLUSION: With careful patient selection, radical resection for gallbladder cancer improves the prognosis with acceptable operative mortality and morbidity rates, even for stage IV disease, provided that complete gross tumour resection is combined with radiotherapy.  相似文献

Background: Patients with stage IV gastric cancer usually have a poor prognosis, but some patients with resectable cancer survive for more than 5 years. We aimed to study the correlation of protein expression and survival in resectable stage IV gastric cancer.Patients and Methods: Tissue samples of 42 patients with resectable stage IV gastric cancer were stained immunohistochemically for the mutant p53 protein and heat shock protein-27 (hsp27). The correlation between protein expression and clinicopathological factors was investigated. Furthermore, prognostic value of each factor was analyzed.Results: Univariate analysis showed that pN factors (Japanese classification, P = .028; International Union Against Cancer classification, P = .024), blood vessel invasion (P = .043), hsp27 overexpression (P = .019), and the index of p53 and hsp27 overexpression (P = .0026) had a prognostic influence. Only Lauren classification, however, revealed the prognostic influence in multivariate analysis (P = .046).Conclusions: These results suggest that immunostaining of tumor specimens for p53 and hsp27 and clinicopathological analysis may help predict the survival of patients with resectable stage IV gastric cancer.  相似文献

Long-term survival and prognostic factors in thymic epithelial tumours.   总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6  
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to analyze long-term survival and the prognostic significance of some factors after surgical resection of thymic epithelial tumours. METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of clinical and histopathological data on 132 patients operated on for thymic tumours, from 1970 and 2001. Histologic diagnosis based on the new WHO classification system was made by a single pathologist. A univariate and multivariate analysis of prognostic factors predicting survival was carried out. RESULTS: There were: 108 complete resections (81.8%), 12 partial resections (9.1%) and 12 biopsies (9.1%). Overall 5, 10 and 15-year survival rate was 72, 61 and 52.5%, respectively. The Masaoka staging system showed 44 stage I, 18 stage II, 52 stage III and 18 stage IV. Histologic results were: 14 subtype A, 31 AB, 20 B1, 28 B2, 29 B3 and 10 C; the respective proportions of invasive tumour (stage II-IV) was 28.6, 58.1, 50, 75, 86.2 and 100%. There were 16 tumour recurrences (14.8%) of 108 radically resected thymomas, 10 were treated with radical re-resection. In univariate analysis, four prognostic factors were statistically significant: radical resection, Masaoka clinical staging, WHO histologic subtype and resectable tumour recurrence. In multivariate analysis, the independent factors predicting long-term survival were WHO histology and Masaoka stage. CONCLUSIONS: The WHO histologic classification seems to be the most significant prognostic factor reflecting the invasiveness of the thymic tumour. Completeness of resection and Masaoka stage I and II assure a better survival. Unresectable recurrence of thymic tumour predicted a worse prognosis.  相似文献

BACKGROUND--The aim of preoperative computed tomographic (CT) assessment of patients with carcinoma of the bronchus is to stage the tumour accurately, and forewarn the surgeon of any possible local extrapulmonary extension of tumour in patients considered to have potentially resectable disease. The ability of CT scanning to differentiate between conventionally resectable lung cancer (TNM stages I and II), locally advanced but resectable lung cancer (TNM stage IIIa), and locally advanced but unresectable lung cancer (TNM stage IIIb) was determined in a group of patients accepted for surgery. METHODS--Computed tomographic scans of 110 patients who underwent thoracotomy for intended resection of carcinoma of the bronchus, including 52 cases with stage III and 58 cases with stage I or II disease, were reviewed and the CT features and radiological interpretations correlated with the surgical and pathological findings. RESULTS--Thirteen CT scans were judged not to have been of diagnostic quality: of the remaining 97 cases 45 had stage III lung cancer, of whom 30 had successful resections, and 52 had stage I or stage II tumours. There was no difference in the frequencies of CT observations--including contiguity of tumour and mediastinum or chest wall, apparent mediastinal or chest wall invasion, proximity of tumour to the carina, mediastinal nodal enlargement, pulmonary collapse or consolidation and pleural effusion--in patients with stage I/II disease and patients with stage III disease. Similar results were found when the same observations were compared in all patients with resected disease and those with unresectable tumour. Sensitivity and specificity of CT was 27% and 96% respectively for tumour unresectability, 50% and 89% for mediastinal invasion, 14% and 99% for chest wall invasion, and 61% and 76% for mediastinal nodal metastases. Only 19 of 45 stage III tumours were correctly identified as being stage III and resectable or unresectable. CONCLUSIONS--In patients being considered for thoracotomy for resection of lung cancer, CT scanning used as the sole method of staging is of limited value for differentiating between stage I/II and stage III tumours. Patients should not be denied the opportunity for curative surgery on the basis of equivocal CT signs.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Cholangiocellular carcinoma is an uncommon primary liver cancer, which may be mixed with hepatocellular carcinoma. A retrospective analysis was undertaken to evaluate the results of surgical treatment and to identify prognostic factors. METHODS: Between 1978 and 1996, 162 patients underwent surgery for cholangiocellular carcinoma: liver resection (n = 95), liver transplantation (n = 24) and exploratory laparotomy with and without drainage (n = 43). Univariate and multivariate analyses of prognostic factors were performed. RESULTS: Overall survival was 47 per cent at 1 year, 28 per cent at 2 years and 13 per cent at 5 years. Survival rates for patients with resectable tumours were 64, 43 and 21 per cent respectively, and for those who underwent liver transplantation 21, 8 per cent and zero respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the following variables had an effect on survival: age, jaundice, liver resection, T, N and M stage in the tumour node metastasis classification, Union Internacional Contra la Cancrum (UICC) tumour stage, tumour-free margins, vascular infiltration, tumour number, tumour size and serum level of carcinoembryonic antigen. Multivariate analysis identified jaundice, N and M category, and UICC tumour stage as independent prognostic factors. CONCLUSION: The data underscore the importance and prognostic value of the UICC tumour classification for cholangiocellular carcinoma. The prognosis of mixed tumours is no different. Liver resection remains the treatment of choice; transplantation offers no solution for otherwise unresectable tumours.  相似文献

Many clinicians still associate oesophagectomy for oesophageal carcinoma with low cure rates, poor palliation and prohibitive peri-operative mortality. Surgical advances have rendered such perceptions inaccurate. A prospective study of all patients undergoing surgery for oesophageal cancer in an Australian teaching hospital between 1979 and 1993 has been undertaken. Selection. staging, pre-operative preparation, surgical technique and postoperative care were all carefully controlled. One hundred and thirty-seven patients were explored. Twenty-one were inoperable. One hundred and sixteen underwent resection with intent to cure. Hospital mortality for oesophagectomy was 1.7%. There were no cases of clinical anastomotic leakage. Eighty-nine per cent achieved excellent to good swallowing. The median survival for all cases was 14 months and the 5 year survival was 18%. Median survival for resected cases was 18 months and the 5 year survival was 26%. The long-term survival was related to postoperative stage of the disease but not to tumour type. Oesophagectomy for oesophageal cancer will restore good swallowing in 90% of cases. Operative mortality should be less than 5% and the overall 5 year survival 20–3096. Early tumours can often be cured (ca in situ 100%. stages I and II 50–60%), indicating the benefits of early detection. Poor survival in advanced disease (stage III 15%. stage IV 0%) on a background of low surgical mortality indicate the need for better staging and more effective adjuvant therapies.  相似文献

Postoperative long-term cancer chemotherapy (PLCC) with a combination of Mitomycin-C (MMC), FT-207 and PSK (an immunostimulant) was prescribed for gastric cancer patients subjected to curative resection. The 5 year survival rates for patients with stage III and stage IV cancer were 58.3 per cent and 50.0 per cent in the PLCC groups, 48.0 per cent and 15.4 per cent in MMC groups, and 46.3 per cent and 13.3 per cent in no chemotherapy groups, respectively. In stage IV, the survival rate in PLCC group was significantly higher than that in MMC or no chemotherapy group (p<0.05). In the PLCC group, there was a tendency toward a dose-dependent effect in each group, and 5 year survival rate of stage III group administered over 60 mg of MMC, 60 g of FT-207 and 270 g of PSK was 70 per cent, such being remarkably higher than 46.3 per cent in those given no chemotherapy (p<0.07). There was no drug related death and only a slight leukopenia and hepatotoxicity occurred in some patients.  相似文献

Adjuvant immunochemotherapy using schizophyllan (SPG), an extract from the culture broth ofSchizophyllum commune Fries, was prescribed at random for 326 Japanese patients with resectable gastric cancer. The overall survival rates for 3 years did not differ between the SPG and control groups. In 62 patients with stage I gastric cancer and 67 with stage II, there was little difference in the 3-year survival rates. The survival rates for 100 patients with stage III were enhanced at p=0.0811 in the SPG group, as compared to the controls. The survival rates in 97 patients with stage IV cancer were much the same. These results warrant further application of this immunopotentiating drug for treating patients with resectable gastric cancer.  相似文献

Borrmann's type IV gastric cancer: clinicopathologic analysis.   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether there is a specific pattern of clinicopathological features that could distinguish Borrmann's type IV gastric cancer from other types of gastric cancer. DESIGN: A retrospective study of patients with advanced gastric cancer treated between 1985 and 1995. SETTING: The Department of Surgery, Sendai National Hospital, a 716-bed teaching hospital. PATIENTS: The clinicopathologic features of 88 patients with Borrmann's type IV carcinoma of the stomach were reviewed from the database of gastric cancer. The results were compared with those of 309 patients with other types of gastric carcinoma. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Gender, age, tumour size, depth of invasion, histologic type, cancer-stromal relationship, histologic growth pattern, nodal involvement, lymphatic and vascular invasion, type of operation, cause of death and 5-year survival. RESULTS: Women were afflicted as commonly as men in the Borrmann's type IV group. These patients tended to be younger and to have larger tumours involving the entire stomach than patients with other types of cancer. Histologic type was commonly diffuse and scirrhous, and serosal invasion was prominent with infiltrative growth. Nodal involvement and lymphatic invasion were more common in patients with Borrmann's type IV than in those with other types of gastric cancer. The disease was advanced in most instances and a total gastrectomy was performed in 55% of the patients. The survival rate of patients with Borrmann's type IV tumour was lower than for patients with other types of gastric cancer (p < 0.005, log-rank test). CONCLUSIONS: In Borrmann's type IV gastric cancer, early detection and curative resection are crucial to extend the patient's survival. Aggressive postoperative chemotherapy is recommended when a noncurative resection is performed.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: The management of stage IV colorectal cancer is controversial. Resection of the primary tumour to prevent obstruction, bleeding or perforation is the traditional approach, although survival benefit is undetermined. Management consisting of diverting ostomy, enteric bypass, laser recanalization or endoscopic stenting is an alternative to radical resection. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of resection of the primary tumour in patients with stage IV colorectal cancer, with specific attention paid to survival benefit and safety. METHOD: This was a retrospective review of all stage IV colon and rectal cancer patients in our tumour registry between 1991 and 2002. Data collected included patient demographics, presenting symptoms, detail from the hospital course including diagnostic data and operative management, complications and survival time (days). Survival analysis was performed to assess the effect of primary tumour resection on long-term survival. RESULTS: 109 patients were studied. Sixty-two (57%) patients (group I) underwent resection of the primary tumour, whereas 47 (43%) patients (group II) were managed without resection. Median survival times for groups I and II were 375 (IQR: 179-759) and 138 (IQR: 35-262) days respectively (P < 0.0001). After controlling for age, sex, tumour location and level of liver involvement as well as liver function, patients who underwent resection still survived longer (HR = 0.34, 95% CI: 0.21-0.55). CONCLUSION: Palliative resection of the primary tumour plays an essential role in the management of stage IV colorectal cancer. Resection can offer increased survival and is indicated in certain patients with incurable disease. Limited metastatic tumour burden of the liver was associated with better survival in such patients.  相似文献

One thousand four hundred cases of colorectal carcinoma were treated primarily at the Wake Forest University Medical Center between 1945 and 1985. The surgical approach was constant in all patients without obvious stage IV disease: wide resection, including at least the primary-level and intermediate-level lymph nodes. There were 812 women and 588 men in the series. Sixty-eight per cent of the 1400 cancers occurred in the rectosigmoid, but only 53 per cent of the last 300 cases were in this region. Initial staging showed 560 cases (40%) of local disease, 504 cases (36%) of regional disease, and 336 cases (24%) of distant disease. Cecal, ascending, hepatic, and transverse lesions were most often associated with stage IV disease. Among the 1115 patients with long-term follow-up, 44 per cent with stage I disease, 37 per cent with stage II disease, 24 per cent with stage III disease, and 6 per cent with stage IV disease had survived for 5 years or longer. There were no differences when 5-year survival was correlated with site. This review provided no evidence that wide resection leads to increased long-term survival.  相似文献

The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system for pancreatic adenocarcinoma classifies positive peritoneal cytology as stage IV disease. Data are limited with respect to the prevalence of positive peritoneal cytology and its influence on survival in patients with resectable, locally advanced, and metastatic disease. Four hundred sixty-two patients underwent staging laparoscopy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma between January 1995 and December 2005. Kaplan-Meier survival comparisons were performed to evaluate the significance of positive peritoneal cytology on overall survival (OS) in resected patients and patients with locally advanced and metastatic disease. Of the 462 patients, 47% (217/462) underwent a pancreatic resection. The 21% (95/462) with locally advanced disease and 32% (150/462) with metastatic disease did not undergo resection. Peritoneal cytology was positive in 17% (77/462), and was associated with stage of disease (metastatic, 37%; locally advanced, 11%; resected, 5%; P=0.01). Positive cytology was not associated with OS in patients with metastatic disease or locally advanced disease, but was in resected patients (median, 16 months vs. 8 months; P<0.001). Node-positive disease was present in 8 of 10 patients resected with positive cytology (2 years OS, 12% positive cytology vs. 23% negative; P=0.006). In this study, patients who underwent resection in the presence of positive peritoneal cytology and absence of other identifiable metastatic disease had a similar survival as other patients with stage IV disease. Presented at the Forty-Seventh Annual Meeting of The Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, Los Angeles, California, May 20–24, 2006 (poster presentation).  相似文献

Postoperative long term cancer chemotherapy (PLCC) with the combination of Mitomycin-C, FT-207*, a furanyl analog of 5-fluorouracil, and PSK**, an immunopotentiator, was prescribed for patients with advanced gastric cancer. Five year survival rates for all stage III and stage IV patients were 52.8 and 19.3 per cent in the PLCC group. The rates were 26.7 and 2.2 per cent in the control groups (p<0.05). In curative cases of stage IV, the 5-year survival rate was 50.0% in the PLCC group while the rate was 11.1% in the controls. Mean survival time of patients with peritoneal dissemination or hepatic metastases was 12.8 and 10.9 months, respectively, for the PLCC group, in contrast to the lower 6.4 and 4.3 months for the controls. Thus, the 5-year survival rate of advanced gastric cancer patients in stage III and stage IV was markedly improved when these patients were treated with the protocol. Our findings clearly show that adjuvant chemotherapy should be administered for a long period postoperatively in order to achieve a significant improvement in patients with gastric cancer.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: The aims of this study were to define the clinicopathological features and prognosis of gastric cancer in young European adults. METHODS: Between 1990 and 2004, 603 patients with gastric cancer were enrolled in a prospective database. The findings for 51 (8.5 per cent) patients aged 45 years or less were compared with those of 457 aged between 46 and 75 years. RESULTS: In the younger group there were significantly more women (57 versus 36.3 per cent; P = 0.004), Laurén diffuse-type carcinomas (73 versus 42.7 per cent; P < 0.001), N2-3 lymph node metastases (59 versus 38.9 per cent; P = 0.005), stage IV disease (49 versus 35.7 per cent; P = 0.085) and resections that were non-curative (36 versus 18.5 per cent; P = 0.007) than in the older patients. Actuarial survival rates in younger patients at 5 and 10 years after resection were 40 and 32 per cent respectively, similar to those in older patients (P = 0.540). Unfavourable prognostic factors associated with poor 5-year survival were the degree of gastric wall invasion (T3-4 versus T1-2; P < 0.001), lymph node invasion (positive versus negative; P < 0.001), disease stage (III-IV versus I-II; P < 0.001) and curability of resection (non-curative versus curative; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Gastric cancer in young adults tends to be more advanced; however, when matched for stage, the prognosis does not differ from that of older patients.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the pattern and timing of recurrence and to determine associated risk factors after radical resection of gastric cancer including D2 dissection. METHODS: A total of 274 patients who had undergone radical resection of gastric cancer with nodal involvement or T3-4 tumour were randomized to receive chemotherapy or no further treatment (control group). Locoregional recurrence and distant metastasis were analysed in a competing risks framework, by estimating the crude cumulative incidence in each group. Multiple regression models were used to investigate the influence of treatment and pathological features on the risk of recurrence. RESULTS: Overall, the 7 year rate of locoregional relapse was 15.8 per cent and that of distant recurrence was 34.5 per cent. There was a significant association between pathological node (pN) stage and distant relapse (P < 0.001), and between pathological tumour (pT) stage and locoregional recurrence (P = 0.024). Chemotherapy had no significant effect on either locoregional or distant recurrence. CONCLUSION: The rate of locoregional recurrence after radical surgery for gastric cancer was lower than that in studies based on more conservative surgery. The pT stage was related to the rate of locoregional recurrence whereas pN stage had an impact on distant recurrence.  相似文献

Accurate staging by unambiguously defined, comparable criteria is essential for a phase-adjusted therapeutic concept to cope with gastric carcinoma. Decision-making on gastrectomy or subtotal gastric resection has to depend primarily on tumour localisation and prognosis by histological classification according to Laurén. Between January 1, 1980, and May 1, 1988, operations for gastric carcinoma were performed on 203 patients at the Surgical Department of Charité, with gastric resection being applied to 144 of them. Postoperative lethality amounted to nine per cent. Indications were established in 66 cases for gastrectomy and in 78 patients for subtotal gastric resection. Two-year survival rates were 52 per cent for the intestinal cell type and 35 per cent for the diffuse type. Prognosis can be improved by radical resection and extensive lymph node removal at the first two lymph node stages. Resection of other infiltrated organ regions may quite often prove necessary for oncological radicality. Splenectomy will be chosen for stomach carcinomas localised in the upper and medium thirds or in tumour stages III and IV.  相似文献
