Abstract
The aim of this study was the analysis of the influence of prognostic factors on short- and long-term outcomes of gastric cancer resection. A database of 709 patients who had gastric cancer resection between 2007 and 2015 was compiled. Total gastrectomy (TG) and subtotal proximal gastrectomy (SPG) significantly increased the risk of overall complications (p=0.0015 and 0.0173, respectively) and surgical complications (p=0.0141 and 0.0035, respectively). Moreover the resection of an additional organ was an independent prognostic factor of overall complications (p<0.0001), systemic complications (p=0.0503), surgical complications (p<0.0001) and relaparotomy (p=0.0259). T stage (p<0.0001), N stage (p<0.0001), M stage (p<0.0001) and radical resection (p<0.0001) significantly affected 5-year survival rates. Early diagnosis and radical resection was crucial in 5-year survival rates. However, the type of gastrectomy and the resection of an additional organ were the most important factors in short-term outcomes of treatment for such patients.
