Correlation of tumor-positive ratio and number of perigastric lymph nodes with prognosis of gastric carcinoma in surgically-treated patients

Abstract: AIM:To evaluate the tumor-positive ratio and number of perigastric lymph nodes as prognostic factors of gastric carcinoma in surgically-treated patients. METHODS:The postoperative survival of 169 patients with gastric cancer who were performed D 2 curative gastrectomy was analyzed with regard to its lymph node metastasis ratio and number. Meanwhile correlation of tumor-positive ratio and number of perigastric lymph nodes with pathological parameters of these patients was studied. RESULTS:The overall 5-year sur… Show more

“…The estimation achieved in this study was lower compared to many studies conducted in America, Switzerland, France, and China (Thong-Ngam et al, 2001;Triboulet et al, 2001;Schwarz and Zagala-Nevarez, 2002;Wang et al, 2002;Adachi et al, 2003;Ding et al, 2004). Unfortunately, most patients with gastric cancer are diagnosed at a stage when common treatments such as gastrectomy, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy are not effective in increasing the patients' survival.…”

“…Unfortunately, more than 80% of patients with gastric cancer are diagnosed at a stage when common treatments such as gastrectomy, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy are not effective inrate is low in patients with gastric cancer after surgery. This rate has been reported to be 29.6% in China, 4.4% in Thailand, 37% in the US, 22% in Switzerland, 30% in France and 21% in Iran (Thong-Ngam et al, 2001;Triboulet et al, 2001;Schwarz and Zagala-Nevarez, 2002;Adachi et al, 2003;Ding et al, 2004;Zeraati et al, 2005c). The increase in these patients' survival after surgery involves identifying various factors, including demographic, clinical and diagnostic, therapeutic, and post-surgical.…”

“…5-year survival rate of this cancer has been reported 12.3% in Chili, 9% in Brazil, 29.6% in China, 4.4% in Thailand, 37% in United States of America, and 22% in Japan. In Iran, over 80% of gastric cancer patients are diagnosed in advanced stages, where treatment strategy will have subtle effects (9)(10)(11)(12)(13). Most of the northern and southeastern regions in Iran are located in vulnerable area to gastric cancer (14).…”
