According to the current Japanese Classification of Gastric Cancer, patients with peritoneal cytology-positive (CY1) gastric cancer are classified as stage IV and the curative potential of resection for these patients is regarded as non-curative.
We compared the clinical outcome of CY1 patients (n=55) with those of patients with other non-curative factors (n=87), to clarify the optimal surgical strategy for CY1 patients.
The 5-year survival rate of CY1 patients was 10.8%, which was significantly better than that observed in the patients with the other non-curative factors. Among CY1 cases, survival outcome of the patients with lymph node metastasis limited to within group 2 was significantly better than the patients with group 3 lymph node metastasis.
These results suggested that gastrectomy combined with extended lymphadenectomy should be recommended for patients with gastric cancer who have positive peritoneal cytology as the only non-curative factor.
根据当前日本胃癌分类,腹膜细胞学阳性(CY1)的胃癌患者被归类为IV期,这些患者的手术切除治愈潜力被认为无法治愈。
我们比较了CY1患者(n = 55)与其他非治愈因素患者(n = 87)的临床结局,以明确CY1患者的最佳手术策略。
CY1患者的5年生存率为10.8%,显著高于其他非治愈因素患者。在CY1病例中,淋巴结转移局限于第2组的患者生存结局明显优于有第3组淋巴结转移的患者。
这些结果表明,对于仅腹膜细胞学阳性这一非治愈因素的胃癌患者,应推荐行胃切除术联合扩大淋巴结清扫术。
