102 Background: Surgical resection is rarely indicated for pulmonary recurrence after curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer because most tumors recurred as multiple nodules or carcinomatous lymphangitis / pleuritis and prognosis is extremely poor. However, some investigators reported a sporadic case developing a solitary pulmonary metastasis which was surgically resected and resulted in a relatively favorable clinical outcome. The present study aimed to clarify contribution of surgery for solitary pulmonary recurrence to the long-term survival. Methods: We performed a systematic review of the literature by searching the words of “stomach”, “neoplasms”, “lung”, and “metastasis” in the Pubmed and Japanese ICHUSHI database, and analyzed the cases reporting on resection of solitary pulmonary metastasis after curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer together with our cases treated at our hospital. Overall survival was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method. Results: A total of 45 patients, 42 from a systematic review and 3 from our cases, were examined. Median age (range) was 67 years (31–84 years). Primary gastric cancer had the following characteristics; histologically differentiated type in 30 patients, undifferentiated type in 2, and unknown in 13 patients and tumor depth of T1 in 3, T2 in 6, T3 in 13, T4 in 9, and unknown in 6. Surgery for the primary gastric cancer was total gastrectomy in 30 patients and distal one in 15. The median (range) disease-free survival (DFS) between initial gastric resection and the detection of pulmonary metastasis was 28.0 months (5-128 months). Surgery for pulmonary tumor was lobectomies in 20 patients, segmentectomies in 3, wedge resections in 18, and unknown in 4. Only 4 patients received adjuvant chemotherapy after pulmonary resection. The median (range) follow-up period after pulmonary surgery was 20 months (3-98 months). The overall survival after pulmonary resection was 86% at 1-year, 62% at 3-year, and 56% at 5-year with the median (range) survival time of 67 months (3-98 months). Conclusions: Surgery for solitary pulmonary recurrence could contribute to the long-term survival.

The Impact

BackgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the impact of postoperative complication and its etiology on long-term survival for gastric cancer (GC) patients with curative resection.MethodsFrom January 2009 to December 2014, a total of 1,667 GC patients who had undergone curative gastrectomy were analyzed. Patients with severe complications (SCs) (Clavien–Dindo grade III or higher complications or those causing a hospital stay of 15 days or longer) were separated into a “complication group.” Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to reveal the relationship between postoperative complications and long-term survival. A 2:1 propensity score matching (PSM) was used to balance baseline parameters between the two groups.ResultsSCs were diagnosed in 168 (10.08%) patients, including different etiology: infectious complications (ICs) in 111 (6.66%) and non-infectious complications (NICs) in 71 (4.26%) patients. Multivariate analysis showed that presence of SCs (P=0.001) was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival, and further analysis by complication type demonstrated that the deteriorated overall survival was mainly caused by ICs (P=0.004) rather than NICs (P=0.068). After PSM, patients with SCs (p=0.002) still had a significantly decreased overall survival, and the presence of ICs (P=0.002) rather than NICs (P=0.067) showed a negative impact on long-term survival.ConclusionSerious complications, particularly of an infectious type, may have a negative impact on overall survival of GC patients. However, additional multicenter prospective studies with larger sample size are required to verify this issue.

Many factors have been reported to affect the long-term survival of gastric carcinoma patients after gastrectomy; the present study took the first attempt to find out the potential role of weekday carried out surgery in the postoperative prognosis of gastric cancer patients. 463 gastric cancer patients have been followed up successfully. Pearsonχ2test was used for univariate analyses. Survival curves were constructed by using Kaplan-Meier method and evaluated by using the log-rank test. The Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to find out the risk factors, and subgroup analysis was conducted to rule out confounding factors. We found that the patients who underwent gastrectomy on the later weekday (Wednesday–Friday) more easily suffered from a higher postoperative morbidity. Weekday of surgery was one of the independent indicators for the prognosis of patients after gastric cancer surgery. However, the role of weekday of surgery was significantly weakened in the complications group. In conclusion, surgery performed in the later weekday was more likely to lead to increased postoperative complications and an unfavorable role in prognosis of Chinese gastric cancer patients after curative gastrectomy.

Long Term Survival

Liver metastasis from gastric cancer has a very poor prognosis. Herein, we present two cases of liver metastases (synchronous and metachronous) from advanced gastric cancer. In the first case, the patient underwent radical subtotal gastrectomy. Liver metastases occurred 6 months after surgery while the patient was receiving adjuvant chemotherapy, but two hepatic tumors were successfully removed by radiofrequency ablation (RFA). In the second case, liver metastases occurred 15 months after surgery for gastric cancer. The patient also received RFA for one hepatic tumor, and other suspicious metastatic tumors were treated with systemic chemotherapy. Although these case presentations are limited for the efficacy of RFA treatment with systemic chemotherapy for hepatic metastases from gastric cancer, our findings showed long-term survival (overall survival for 108 and 67 months, respectively) of the affected patients, without recurrence. Therefore, we suggest that RFA treatment with systemic chemotherapy could be an effective alternative treatment modality for hepatic metastases from gastric cancer.
