Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on surgery and prognosis in patients with stage Ⅲ gastric cancer.
MethodsThe 90 cases staging Ⅲ gastric cancer were randomly divided into neoadjuvant chemotherapy group and surgery group. Both surgical complications and prognosis were compared.
ResultsThe overall effective rate of neoadjuvant chemotherapy was 53%(24/45), disease control rate of neoadjuvant chemotherapy was 91%(41/45). Blood loss(t=4.102, P=0.037), local adhesions surgery(χ2=19.756, P=0.000), local tissue necrosis(χ2=13.512, P=0.000), tissue fragility (χ2=12.870, P=0.000)number of cases found in neoadjuvant chemotherapy group were higher than surgery group, and the data were statistically significant.There were no statistically significance between two groups about operation time(t=2.391, P=0.129), tissue congestion(χ2=0.865, P=0.352), postoperative bleeding(χ2=0.720, P=0.396), postoperative fistula(χ2=1.047, P=0.306). The survival time of neoadjuvant chemotherapy group was longer than surgery group, but it was not statistically significant(t=1.086, P=0.372).
ConclusionsNeoadjuvant chemotherapy could reduce the stage of the gastric cancer and increase the complexity of surgery. Thus preoperative evaluation should be prepared before the surgery.
