Overview
Introduction:
Gastric carcinoma is a serious malignant disease, manifesting often in advanced stages and with a presence of metastatic dissemination into lymph nodes.
Aim:
The aim of the study was to asses own results with a reference on modern trends in surgery of gastric carcinoma and research of dependence of the age and stage of the disease on survival.
Methods:
In the Ist Surgical Clinic of Abdominal, Thoracal and Trauma Surgery of General Teaching Hospital in Prague a total of 191 patients with gastric carcinoma were operated during a period of 10 years, from October 1998 to October 2008. To the closing date of the study 130 patients deceased, 40 patients lived on. Every patient underwent an endoscopical examination of gastroduodenum once a year. A data from 21 patients couldn’t be collected because of a bad compliance. There were 88 patients older than 65 years, 82 patients were younger. In prospective-retrospective study we examined survival of patients and dependence on age and stage of the disease.
Results and conclusion:
Total survival rate 24% corresponds with data in literature, quoted from 10 to 30%. An age isn’t an independent factor of survival. A dependence on the stage of the disease is noticeable.
Key words:
gastric carcinoma – surgical treatment – age – survival
