Gastric cancer: Australian outcomes of multi‐modality treatment with curative intent

Abstract: This large Australian single centre study shows outcomes equivalent to other Western series and approaches that of Japanese data. High survival figures can be achieved when gastrectomy is performed by an experienced institution through a multi-modality approach with adequate staging, aggressive and appropriate resection and selective use of perioperative therapy.

“…This study comprised a heterogeneous group with resectable adenocarcinoma of the distal oesophagus and stomach. Although surgical treatment of oesophageal and gastric cancers occurs in relatively low volume centres in Australia, we have equivalent short and long term outcomes compared to Asian and European institutions [22, 23]. Therefore, our findings on the predictive performance of PET for survival and PR in this group are applicable to other populations.…”

“…This unsurprisingly leads to an overall poor prognosis for GC. Five-year survival rates have been quoted ranging from 36-47% in large Western trials (5), with other sources quoting as low as 20% overall and 5% for metastatic disease (6).…”
