- Abstract
Introduction: Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. It is highly prevalent in Chile, with a mortality rate of 26/100,000 inhabitants for men and 12/100,000 for women. Surgical resection remains the treatment of choice, it aims to improve the quality of life and prolong overall survival and disease-free survival. The 5-year survival rate reported worldwide is close to 30%. We do not have data on survival rates in Valparaíso for patients with gastric cancer. Aim: To characterize patients with gastric adenocarcinoma that underwent gastric resection and determine their survival rate at 5 years post gastrectomy. Materials and Method: We performed a retrospective descriptive review of medical records of patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma. The main variable analyzed was the 5-year survival rate. Results: 69 patients were included; the average survival was 31.7 (SD 25.3) months and the survival rate at 5 years was 46%. A difference was found when comparing degrees of lymph node involvement according to TNM (p = 0.0001). Depending on the stage, we obtained a P value close to being statistically significant (p = 0.083). Other variables suggested differences in survival rates without achieving statistical significance. Discussion: We obtained similar results to national studies. We obtained better survival rates than western countries, however our results are still lower than those from Japan (> 70%). Conclusions: We were able to finely characterize patients with gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent gastrectomy, their 5-year survival rate, and also to support association between different degrees of lymph node involvement and survival rates.
