ABSTRACT

Objective: Lymph node involvement is one of the leading prognostic factors in patients with gastric cancer without distant metastasis, although disease-related death also occurs in patients without lymph node involvement. The present study investigates whether gastrectomy type and complication presence is a prognostic factor in gastric cancer patients without lymph node involvement.
Material and methods: The data of 262 patients who underwent curative gastrectomy at our clinic between November 2006 and December 2018 was reviewed retrospectively.
Results: No lymph node involvement was identified in 33.2% of the patients who underwent curative gastrectomy, and survival in this group was better than in the patient group with lymph node involvement (75.9% vs. 32.6%). A comparison of the two groups revealed significant differences in terms of Borrmann’s classification, Lauren classification, T stage, vascular invasion, perineural invasion, tumor diameter and total number of lymph nodes. Disease-related death occurs also in patients without lymph node involvement, with tumor diameter, T stage, gastrectomy type and the presence of complications all found to be factors affecting the risk of death.
Conclusion: Patients without lymph node involvement have a better prognosis, and aside from tumor diameter and T stage, the present study found gastrectomy type and the presence of complications to be prognostic risk factors.
