ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The prognostic and survival benefit of extended multiorgan resection for locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma remains controversial. The morbidity associated with additional organ resection has been found to be higher when compared to patients undergoing gastrectomy alone. The aim of our study was to evaluate the morbidity, mortality and survival benefit associated with extended multiorgan resection for locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma.METHODS:
From January 2004 to December 2011, 721 patients underwent resectional surgery for gastric adenocarcinoma at the Christian Medical College, Vellore, India. Out of this group, 36 patients underwent primary resection and had one or more organs resected in addition to the stomach. A retrospective analysis of the case records of all these patients was performed. The Kaplan-Meier survival probability was estimated. Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the clinico-pathological variables affecting the survival of these patients.RESULTS:
The perioperative morbidity and mortality rates were 25% and 5.5% respectively. The most common organs resected were colon and spleen. The incidence of pathologically confirmed T4b cancers was only 50%. The median survival of these patients was 28 months. The survival was influenced by a R0 or curative resection. However, it was not statistically significant.CONCLUSION:
Extended multiorganresection in locally advanced gastric cancer can be performed with acceptable morbidity and mortality. In our study, overstaging was found in 50% of the patients and hence, when the real nature of invasion is unclear, the surgeon may proceed with en bloc resection of the stomach with the involved adjacent organs. As long as an R0 resection can be achieved, extended multiorgan resection can be performed for carcinoma stomach.
