Prediction of Site-Specific Risk of Recurrence after Curative
Surgery for Gastric Cancer ABSTRACT
TNM-staging
according to UICC/AJCC classification accurately predicts overall
survival for gastric cancer but provides no information about
risks of recurrence. We report here original prospectively documented
data of overall and first site-specific recurrence with a median
follow-up of 92 months after curative extended (D2) resection
for gastric cancer.
Best Replica Watches A simple classification into three groups based on both pathological serosa-/node status (first group: both negative; second group: either serosa- or node-negative cancer; third group: both positive) demonstrated highly significant differences in multivariate analysis [RR 7.07 (95% CI, 2.36-21.17) and 16.19 (95% CI, 5.76-45.54), of second and third group vs. first group respectively]. The most frequent sites of recurrence were the peritoneum for serosa-positive and distant organs for node-positive/serosa negative cancers whereas the risk of local and/or nodal recurrence was low. This proposed classification appears to be simple for the introduction into medical practice and potentially useful towards the development of recurrence-oriented preventive target therapies.
