Multivisceral Resections for Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer

Multivisceral Resections for Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer

The goal of this observational study is to assess whether the postoperative course and survival of patients subject to multivisceral resections for locally advanced gastric cancer (cT4b) were affected by the extent of surgery. An electronic database of 1476 patients with non-metastatic gastric cancer treated between January 1996 and December 2020 will be reviewed. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Does splenectomy, distal pancreatectomy or partial colectomy affect postoperative complications
• What factors affect prognosis of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer

Inclusion Criteria:

• gastric adenocarcinoma
• intraoperatively suspected infiltration of surrounding organs (stage cT4bN0-3bM0)
• partial or total gastrectomy

Exclusion Criteria:

• distant metastases (M1)
• gastrectomy combined with resection of organs other than spleen, pancreas, or colon
