R0 resection can be achieved only in very few such cases. Even for these patients the 5-year survival rate is less than 5 %. Surgical palliation is traditionally reserved for the treatment of severe tumour complications not responding to other forms of treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We report on 21 patients who underwent palliative resection for gastric carcinoma at our institution between 2004 and 2007. Ten of these were assigned to palliative surgical treatment pre-operatively while this choice was made for 11 patients on the grounds of the intra-operative findings. We performed 17 gastrectomies, 3 proximal gastric resections and one distal gastric resection. RESULTS: It has been shown that the patients have an improved overall survival time as compared to patients who received non-surgical treatment. The perioperative risk was reasonable when patients were carefully selected. Median survival for resected patients was 16 months. 80 % of patients were alive after 6 months and approximately 60 % of patients were alive after 12 months. The perioperative mortality was 0 % with a mean hospital stay of 12 days. All patients were discharged home with proper bowel passage and analgesia as individually required. CONCLUSIONS: We are convinced that palliative gastric resection provides a pronounced survival benefit over any other palliative treatment options. Patients also have an improved quality of life. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=3764 ------>authors2=None ------>authors3=None ------>authors4=None ------>authors5=None ------>authors6=None ------>authors6_c=None ------>authors=Wu CW, Lo SS, Shen KH, Hsieh MC, Lui WY, P’eng FK. ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c=None ------>publish_area=None ------>updateTitle=[Indications and results of palliative gastric resection in advanced gastric carcinoma] ------>language=2 ------>check_flag= ------>submit_date= ------>country=None ------>no= ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho= ------>publish_year=2000 ------>submit_flag= ------>publish_month=None |
