“…In the study performed by Sezer et al, it was reported that the tumors located at the antrum had the best and the tumors that had spread to the entire stomach had the worst survival rates [13]. In our study, there was no significant difference between the groups in terms of survival according to tumor location in patients with gastric cancer.…”

“…Gastric cancer has a poor prognosis and is unlikely to cure when it is detected in late stages [27]. In the study performed by Sezer et al, it was reported that 46.6% of the patients had a mean survival time of less than one year [13]. In our study, the mean survival time of patients with gastric cancer was 13.5 ± 13 (0-62) months.…”

“…The mean age of the patients with upper gastrointestinal malignancies was 62.18 ± 12.07 years in the study performed by Coşkun et al [10], and 63 ± 13 years in the study performed by Albayrak et al [11]. The mean age of patients with gastric cancer was 63.7 ± 10.7 years in the study performed by Şahin et al [12], and 58.3 in the study performed by Sezer et al [13].…”

“…In the study performed by Şahin et al, the rates of gastric cancer involvement of the antrum, corpus, cardia and the whole stomach were 35.7%, 35.7%, 19% and 9.5%, respectively [12]. In the study performed by Sezer et al, the most common site of tumor location was the corpus with a rate of 46.7% [13].…”

“…In the study performed by Şahin et al, a large number of patients (76.2%) were in late stage [12]. In the study performed by Sezer et al, 10.5% of the cases were stage I, 44.2% were stage II, 9.9% were stage III and 35.4% were stage IV, and the patients with lymph node metastasis had a lower five-year survival [13]. In a study performed by Selçukbiricik et al that evaluated gastric cancer patients between 2000 and 2011, 24.5% of the patients were stage III and 49.3% were stage IV [22].…”
