Abstract

Background: Role of reduction gastrectomy in the treatment of stage IV gastric cancer remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the short- and long-term oncologic outcomes of reduction gastrectomy for un resectable gastric cancer. Method: This was a retrospective cohort study including 132 patients with stage IV gastric cancer patients who underwent reduction gastrectomy from Jan 2013 to Jun 2020 at the Department of Gastro-Intestinal Surgery, University Medical Center at Ho Chi Minh City. Results: The mean age was 59.5 years. The rate of overall postoperative complication was 21.2%, and the rate of severe complications was 5.3%. The overall survival time was 21,3 ± 9,6 months. The one-, three-, and five-year overall survival rates were 49%, 11%, and 6%, respectively. Differentiation, lymph nodes metastasis, and adjuvant chemotherapy were identified as independent risk factors associated with overall survival. Conclusion: Reduction gastrectomy was safe for the treatment of stage IV gastric cancer.
