Completed
Conditions
Gastric Cancer
Registration Number
NCT05253430
Lead Sponsor
Fundación para la Investigación del Hospital Clínico de Valencia
Brief Summary

This study is a retrospective study with a propensity score-matched analysis in order to balance differences between patients with D1 and D2 lymphadenectomy for gastric cancer.The main aim is to analyse differences in the postoperative and oncological outcomes of patients with gastric cancer (GC) who underwent D1 and D2 gastrectomy.

Detailed Description

In this propensity score-matched analysis of 128 patients, D2 lymphadenectomy improved long-term outcomes compared with D1 in patients with curative intent surgery for gastric cancer except for the group of patients older than 75 years and with early tumors.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Disease-free survivalpercentage of patients without disease recurrence alive at 3 and 5 years after surgery

Disease-free survival (DFS) was defined as the time from gastric surgery to the date of recurrence (locoregional, peritoneal recurrence and/or distant metastases).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Postoperative mortalityfrom the surgery up to 90 days after the surgery

Mortality through post-operative follow-up

Overall survivalpercentage of patients alive at 3 and 5 years after surgery

Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from the date of surgery to the date of death from any cause

Postoperative morbidityfrom the surgery up to 90 days after the surgery

Surgical complications were defined as any deviation from the normal postoperative course within 90 days after surgery, both during the hospital stay or after discharge.
