Objective: The storage of medical data has been digitized in China, but a unified and structured model has not yet been established. The standardized collection, analysis and sorting of tumor clinical data is the foundation of improving the standard of tumor diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, establishing a database platform of gastric cancer (GC) is an urgent need to integrate data resources and improve the level of diagnosis and treatment. The population economics indexes of GC patients in the last 20 years are analyzed in a single-center GC database. The medical records were structured by natural language processing technology. Authors aim to investigate the clinical pathological characteristics, staging and survival of the GC patients with gastrectomy. Method: A retrospective cohort study was carried out. Clinicopatological data of patients receiving surgical treatment from 2000 to 2019 were retrospectively collected. According to the gastric cancer TNM staging guidelines from the Union for International Cancer Control and the American Joint Committee on Cancer (UICC/AJCC) 8th edition, the structured gastric cancer clinicopathological data were re-evaluated and interpreted. The Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test were used to compare survival rate among different groups of patients with complete follow-up data of 2010-2016. Results: Clinicopathological data of 13 492 GC patients were enrolled. The ratio of men to women in the whole group was 3.25:1.00, including 10 320 men with average onset age of 59.68 years, which was basically stable in recent 20 years, and 3172 women with average onset age of 55.93 years, which presented a trend of average increasement of 0.17 year per year. The average hospitalization duration for GC patients showed a decreasing trend year by year, which was 13.87 days in 2019. Average hospitalization cost for GC patients was increasing year by year, with a peak of 83 600 CNY in 2017 and 75 400 CNY in 2019. By natural language identification and exclusion criteria screening, a total of 7218 GC patients obtained structured clinicopathological information. Analysis on clinicopathological characteristics of 3626 GC patients in the last 5 years showed that the average diameter of tumor was (4.44±2.61) cm; the average number of harvested lymph node was 24.30±13.29; the proportion of surgical methods were as following: open surgery in 1398 cases (38.55%), laparoscopic surgery in 1856 cases (51.19%) and robotic surgery in 372 cases (10.26%). The postoperative pathological stage was as following: IA in 658 cases (18.15%), IB in 318 cases (8.77%), IIA in 559 cases (15.42%), IIB in 543 (14.98%), III A in 632 (17.43%), III B in 612 cases (16.88%), III C in 276 cases (7.61%), and IV in 28 cases (0.77%). Complete follow-up data of 3431 patients from 2010 to 2016 were presented. The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 82%, 69% and 60%, respectively for the whole group. The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates for patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery were 83%, 70% and 64%, respectively, and for those undergoing open surgery were 81%, 67% and 56%, respectively, and the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (P=0.109). The 5-year survival rate of GC patients with different AJCC stages was as following: 88% in IA, 77% in IB, 70% in II A, 62% in II B, 44% in III A, 32% in III B, 22% in III C, and 17% in IV. Conclusion: This study provides basic data for the establishment of comprehensive diagnosis and treatment model of multicenter, shedding light on the improvement of comprehensive treatment of GC in China.
