Gastric Carcinoma and Extended Surgery

Gastric Carcinoma
  • Diffuse

  • Diet
  • H. pylori
  • Intestinal
  • MF 21

Gastric Carcinoma
  • Japanese Chinese mortality rates for Gastric Ca
    2x southern hemisphere
  • Disease of lower socioeconomic groups

4
Gastric Carcinoma Staging
  • JRSGC PHNS System
  • P- Grade of peritoneal spread
  • H- Presence of Hepatic Mets
  • N- Extent of lymph node involvement
  • S- Extent serosal invasion
  • Internationally Unified TMN Staging

Gastric Carcinoma Surgery
  • Western societies when resecting stomach tend not
    to be as extensive as the Japanese
  • The extent of resection is described as
  • D1. Limited Lymphadenectomy. All N1 Nodes removed
    en bloc with the stomach
  • D2. Systematic Lymphadenectomy. N1 N2 nodes en
    bloc with stomach
  • D3. Extended Lymphadenectomy. A more radical en
    bloc resection including N3 nodes

Gastric Carcinoma Surgery
  • The case for D2 systematic lymphadenectomy is
    controversial
  • Japan practices this routinely
  • Western medicine tends to take a more
    conservative approach

9
Indications for Splenectomy
  • If macroscopic disease can be resected the
    operation is potentially curative then en bloc
    splenectomy or pancreaticosplenectomy is
    worthwhile.
  • If it is more palliative then this benefit must
    be weighed against the potential complications of
    splenectomy and more extensive operation

10
Distal Pancreatectomy
  • Associated with marked increase in morbidity
    mortality with or without splenectomy
  • Indications for pancreatectomy
  • Direct invasion of the tail of the pancreas
  • Likelihood of splenic artery nodal involvement

11
No survival benefit from combined
pancreaticosplenectomy and total gastrectomy for
gastric cancer Kitamura K, et al., Br J Surg

Introduction
  • Gastric Carcinoma is a common fatal malignancy
  • More common in Japan c/w rest of world
  • Japan reports better survival rates
  • Stage Migration
  • Thinner Population
  • Experience with Gastric Surgery

13
Introduction
  • Combined pancreaticosplenectomy does have
    increased morbidity mortality
  • Cuschieri A, Fayers P, Fielding, etal.
    Postoperative morbidity and mortality after D1
    D2 resections for gastric cancer preliminary
    results of the MRC randomised controlled surgical
    trial. The Surgical Cooperative Group. Lancet
    1996 347 995-9

14
Question?
  • Does Extended Surgery for Gastric Carcinoma offer
    any survival benefit?

15
Methods
  • Retrospective Study
  • Data collected from 1969 1996
  • Total number of patients undergoing gastric
    surgery 1844
  • 190 Total Gastrectomy Pancreaticosplenectomy
  • 206 Total Gastrectomy Splenectomy

16
Methods
  • Pathology based on Japanese Research Society for
    Gastric Surgery
  • Patients with direct invasion of pancreas or
    suspected lymph nodes along splenic artery had
    TGPS
  • Patients with suspected splenic hilum nodes had
    TGS

17
Statistical Analysis
  • c2 used to assess clinicopathological difference
    between groups
  • Kaplan-Meier used for cumulative survival rates
  • Wilcoxon test used for survival curves

18
Results
  • No differences in ages or sex between groups
  • TGS groups had smaller tumours and were more
    superficial (plt0.005)
  • TGPS groups had more frequent lymph node
    metastases were more histologically advanced
  • No difference in histological type

19
Morbidity
20
Post-Op Survival
  • (9/190) 5 of TGPS died within 30/7 of
    Post-Operatively
  • (12/206) 6 of TGS died within 30/7 of
    Post-Operatively

21
Post-Op Survival
  • Survival rates only for stage 34 disease looked
    at because of numbers

Pancreaticosplenectomy
  • 83 patients had TGPS for direct invasion of
    pancreas
  • 104 patients had TGPS when lymph node metastasis
    was evident or suspected
  • 46/83 had histological confirmation of direct
    invasion
  • 22/104 had confirmation of lymph node metastasis
    at histology
  • 6 of 46 lived for gt 5 years
  • 2 of 22 lived gt 5 years

26
Discussion
  • Assumption that TGPS has improved survival rate
  • TGPS routine in Japan gt30 years
  • No direct evidence

27
Discussion
  • Of the TGPS 6 long term survivors with direct
    invasion of pancreas
  • 2 patients with metastases along splenic artery
    survived gt 5years after TGPS
  • 20 of 22 Patients with splenic hilar nodes died
    before 5 years after TGS

28
Discussion
  • TGS does not appear to be beneficial in patients
    with splenic hilar nodes
  • Extended Surgery offers some advantages for
    patients with direct invasion of pancreas body or
    tail
  • TGPS has most morbidity

29
Discussion
  • TGPS mortality in Japan is about 10 c/w 1996
    MRC trail in UK 16
  • ? This due to
  • More surgical experience with this disease
  • Thinner patients
  • Case mix differences
  • Co-morbidities

30
Conclusion
  • Extended surgery for Gastric Ca not beneficial
    unless there is direct invasion of the pancreas
    body or tail
  • TGPS not routine
  • TGPS not useful for lymph node metastases along
    splenic artery

31
Pros
  • Purpose clearly stated
  • Good comprehensive collation of results which
    were well presented
  • Results collated support the conclusions derived
  • This study offer clinical significance for
    surgical treatment of Gastric Ca

32
Cons
  • Retrospective study
  • Surgical decision for TGS or TGPS was
    subjective ?
  • Anatomical position of tumour. Is it important?
  • ? Co-morbidities of the patients. Did they die of
    causes other than their Ca
  • No mention of the specific post-op complications
    that led to patients death within the 30/7
