- Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of extensive intraoperative peritoneal lavage (EIPL) therapy on stage III B + C and CY1/P0 gastric cancer patients after potentially curative surgery. Methods: The study included 37 patients with CY1/P0 and 23 patients with stage III B + C gastric cancer who were treated with potentially curative gastrectomy and EIPL therapy between March 1995 and May 2013. D2 lymphadenectomy, R0 resection, and EIPL therapy were performed for all cases. Results: Multivariate analysis revealed that male gender ( P = 0.01) and lymph node metastasis ( P = 0.03) were independent prognostic factors, while positive cytology was not ( P = 0.21). There was no significant difference in overall survival rates between the CY1/P0 and stage III B + C groups ( P = 0.93). There was also no significant difference in peritoneal recurrence rates, i.e., 13 (35.1%) in the CY1/P0 group and 5 (21.7%) in the stage III B + C group ( P = 0.39). Conclusions: EIPL therapy combined with complete resection and sufficient (D2) lymphadenectomy could improve the prognosis of CY1/P0 gastric cancer and, to a similar extent, that of stage III B + C.
