Correlation between surgery procedures for gastric cancer and prognosis

Objective To compare the effect of total gastrectomy and proximal gastrectomy on the postoperative survival rate of patients with gastric cancer.Methods 86 patients with gastric cancer admitted in our hospital in 2011 were randomly selected and analyzed for the clinical data,including general data,type of gastric cancer,surgery procedures,postoperative survival rate.The one-year survival rate,three-year survival rate,five-year survival rate were calculated and compared according to the surgery procedures.The statistical analysis was performed by SPSS13.0.Results No statistically significant difference was found in the one-year survival rate between patients undergoing total gastrectomy and those undergoing proximal gastrectomy,while statistically significant difference was showed in the three-year survival rate and five-year survival rate.Conclusion The long-term survival rate was significantly higher in patients treated by total gastrectomy than those undergoing proximal gastrectomy.
