چکیده

Background: Although the incidence of gastric (adenocarcinoma) cancer has been decreasing over time, it is still one of the most common malignancies worldwide, and proximal tumours tend to have a worse prognosis. Aim: To compare surgical outcomes and prognosis between proximal - excluding tumours of the cardia - and distal gastric cancer. Methods: Out of 293 cases reviewed - 209 with distal and 69 with proximal gastric cancer - were compared for clinical and pathological features, stage, surgical outcome, mortality and survival. Results: Statistically, there was no significant difference between patients in both groups regarding mortality (p=0.661), adjuvant chemotherapy (p 0.661), and radiation (p=1.000). However, there was significant difference in the degree of lymph node dissection employed (p=0.002) and the number of positive lymph nodes resected (p=0.038) between the two groups. The odds of death at five years for patients who had a D0 dissection was three times greater (odds ratio 2.78; (95%CI 1.33-5.82) than that for patients who had a D2 dissection, while for patients who had a D1 dissection the odds ratio was only 1.41 (95%CI 0.71-2.83) compared to D2-dissected patients. Conclusion: Although no significant differences were found between proximal and distal gastric cancer, the increased risk of death in D0- and D1-dissected patients clearly suggests an important role of radical D2 lymph node dissection in survival. Racional: Embora a incidência do câncer gástrico esteja diminuindo nas últimas décadas, ele ainda aparece como uma das neoplasias malignas mais comuns, e tumores proximais tendem a ter pior prognóstico. Objetivo: Comparar os resultados cirúrgicos e o prognóstico entre o câncer gástrico proximal, excluindo os tumores da cárdia e junção esofagogástrica, e o distal. Métodos: De 293 casos revistos - 209 distais e 69 proximais - foram comparados quanto aos achados clínicos e patológicos, estágio, resultados cirúrgicos, mortalidade e sobrevida. Resultados: Estatisticamente não houve diferença entre pacientes em ambos os grupos quanto à mortalidade (p=0.661), emprego de quimioterapia adjuvante (p=0.661) e de radioterapia (p=1.000). Entretanto, houve diferença significativa no grau de dissecção linfonodal empregada (p=0.002) e no número de linfonodos positivos ressecados (p=0.038) entre os dois grupos. A razão de chances para morte em cinco anos nos casos de dissecção D0 foi três vezes maior (2,78; IC95% de 1,33 a 5,82) do que a D2, enquanto que para dissecção D1, ela foi apenas 1,41 vezes maior (95%CI 0.71-2.83) quando comparado à D2. Conclusão: Ainda que não se tenha observado diferenças significativas entre o câncer gástrico proximal e o distal, o risco de morte aumentado nos casos de D0 e D1, claramente demonstra o papel preponderante da linfadenectomia radical D2 no tratamento dessa doença.

Differences in the sensorimotor response to distension between the proximal and distal stomach in humans.

BACKGROUND It is not known which region of the stomach is responsible for symptom generation or whether symptoms induced by gastric distension are region specific. Also, it is unclear whether low level gastric distension has a modulatory role on gastric tone and mechanosensitivity. AIMS To define differences in the sensorimotor response to distension between proximal and distal gastric disten...

Determination of amplicon boundaries at 20q13.2 in tissue samples of human gastric adenocarcinomas by high-resolution microarray comparative genomic hybridization.

Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) of gastric adenocarcinomas frequently shows gains and amplifications of chromosome 20. However, the underlying genetic lesion is unknown and conventional CGH results do not allow specification of the target region. In order to investigate this chromosomal aberration with a higher resolution and sensitivity, microarray-based CGH was performed with both sca...

Incidence and survival for gastric and esophageal cancer diagnosed in British Columbia, 1990 to 1999.

BACKGROUND Geographical variation and temporal trends in the incidence of esophageal and gastric cancers vary according to both tumour morphology and organ subsite. Both diseases are among the deadliest forms of cancer. The incidence and survival rates for gastric and esophageal carcinoma in British Columbia (BC) between 1990 and 1999 are described. METHODS Incidence data for the period 1990 ...

Differential symptomatic and electrogastrographic effects of distal and proximal human gastric distension.

Nausea and gastric dysrhythmias occur in conditions associated with gastric distension. The roles of distal and proximal gastric mechanoreceptors in these responses are unexplored. Because antral distension induces vomiting in animals and antral and fundic vagal afferent discharges differ, we hypothesized that distal gastric distension in humans leads to greater symptomatic and dysrhythmic resp...

Effect of esophagus distension on gastric blood flow, gastrin and somatostatin secretion in rat

Abstract Introduction: There are many studies about the inhibitory effect of the esophageal distention (ED) on gastric motility. Recently, it has been shown that ED decreases the gastric secretions. It is well established that the inhibitory effect of ED is mediated by activation of vago-vagal inhibitory reflex. However, there is not any investigation about the effect of the reflex on the gast...
