Özet

Objective: To investigate the prognostic factors affecting survival in patients with a deep gastric wall invasion of T3-T4 advanced gastric cancer. Study Design: Descriptive study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Kartal Kosuyolu High Specialty Training and Research Hospital, between November 2006 and December 2018. Methodology: A retrospective review was made of 252 patients; and the clinicopathological characteristics and survival status in the presence of T1-T2 and T3-T4 patients were investigated. The cumulative survival of the two groups was analysed with a Kaplan-Meier test, and the differences were analysed with a log-rank test. The prognostic factors for T3-T4 patients were established through a stepwise Cox regression analysis. Results: Of the total, 52 (20.6%) patients had T1-T2 and 200 (79.4%) had T3-T4 gastric wall invasion. Statistical differences were noted in the Lauren classification as gender, tumor size, presence of lymph node involvement, presence of vascular and perineural invasion, and overall survival (p <0.001). A univariate analysis of the prognostic factors affecting survival in T3-T4 patients revealed a difference in the tumor localisation, tumor size, the presence of involved lymph nodes, perineural invasion, and vascular invasion. A multivariate analysis of the prognostic factors affecting survival identified differences in tumor size, the presence of involved lymph nodes and perineural invasion. Conclusion: The most significant prognostic factor affecting survival in patients with T3-T4 gastric cancer, based on the depth of gastric wall invasion, was the tumor size, lymph node involvement and perineural invasion.
