Abstract
Among 1540 patients who underwent surgery for gastric cancer at the surgical de-partment of Kyoto National Hospital between January 1978 and December 1991, 230 patients with se gastric cancer (gastric cancer with serosal invasion) and 310 patients with ss gastric cancer (gastric cancer invading the subserosa) were studied. Obviously the cases of se gastric cancer were in more advanced stage than ss gastric cancer. There were significant differences between se and ss, in terms of peritoneal dissemination (P, p<0.0001), liver metastasis (H, p<0.05), and histological lymph node metastasis (n, p<0.05). Prognosis of se gastric cancer was worse than that of ss. However, only among patients with POHOnO gastric cancer, there was no significant difference between se and ss concerning survival times. This may prove that prognosis of se gastric cancer could be improved similarly to that of ss.
