Abstract:Abstract: Objective?To investigate the survival and long-term effects of minimally invasive surgery for patients with T4a gastric cancer.?Methods?The clinical data of 93 cases of T4a gastric cancer treated from January 2010 to January 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients underwent laparoscopic T4a radical gastrectomy and followed up by clinic and telephone after surgery. During the follow-up period, 5 patients were lost to follow-up, and the other 88 patients who were not lost as study objects. The 5-year survival status of the patients was analyzed. Among them, 49 patients survived in the survival group and 39 patients died in the death group. The univariate and Logistic multivariate analysis of the related factors of death after minimally invasive surgery in patients with T4a gastric cancer were made.?Results?Within 5 years postoperatively, 48.86% (43 patients) had disease-free survival, 6.82% (6 patients) had tumor survival, 44.32% (39 patients) died, and 39.77% (35 patients) died of relapse or metastasis. Univariate analysis showed that tumor diameter, location, combined organ resection, tumor N staging, Lauren classification, lymph node metastasis, lymph node metastasis range, number of lymph node metastasis, and T4a gastric cancer patients were closely related to death after minimally invasive surgery (P?0.05). Logistic multivariate analysis showed that combined organ resection, tumor N2 stage, lymph node metastasis rate >40%, lymph node metastasis range, and lymph node metastasis were mostly risk factors for death after T4a-stage gastric cancer patients underwent minimally invasive surgery (P?0.05).?Conclusions?The survival of patients with T4a gastric cancer after 5 years of minimally invasive surgery is not good, combined organ resection, tumor N2 stage, lymph node metastasis rate > 40%, lymph node metastasis range, the number of lymph node metastasis is a risk factor for its death. The monitoring of such patients should be strengthened to improve the prognosis.
