Splenectomy combined with gastrectomy and immunotherapy for advanced gastric cancer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We studied the effects of a splenectomy in combination with immunotherapy on the survival of patients who had undergone a total gastrectomy. It was found that a splenectomy was not effective against advanced gastric cancer at stage III, and that the spleen should be retained for immunotherapy. Splenectomy for gastric cancer at terminal stage IV, particularly in combination with immunotherapy, produced not only augmentation of cellular immunity, but also increased survival.

Efficacy of prophylactic splenectomy for proximal advanced gastric cancer invading greater curvature
BACKGROUND For proximal gastric cancer invading the greater curvature, concomitant splenectomy is frequently performed to secure the clearance of lymph node metastases. However, prognostic impact of prophylactic splenectomy remains unclear. The aim of this study was to clarify the oncological significance of prophylactic splenectomy for advanced proximal gastric cancer invading the greater curv...
متن کاملEffect of splenectomy on the survival of patients underwent radical surgery for gastric cardia cancer
Aims: In gastric cardia cancer, the spleen is usually removed when the tumor is resected. This allows thorough lymph node dissection in the splenic hilus. However, the effect of splenectomy on patient survival is controversial. This study gives insight into the effect of splenectomy in radical surgery for gastric cardia cancer. Methodology: We reviewed the records of 348 patients who underwent ...

Objectives. The significance of splenectomy in advanced proximal gastric cancer is examined retrospectively. Methods. From 1994 to 2004, 505 patients with advanced proximal gastric cancer underwent curative total gastrectomy with preserving spleen (T) for 264 patients and total gastrectomy with splenectomy (ST) for 241 patients. Results. Patients who underwent splenectomy showed more advanced l...
متن کاملPreservation of the spleen improves survival after radical surgery for gastric cancer.
One hundred and ninety five consecutive, potentially curative resections for adenocarcinoma of the stomach were performed in one surgical department between 1970 and 1989: 76 patients underwent gastrectomy with splenectomy and 119 gastrectomy without splenectomy. Operative mortality was 12% after gastrectomy with splenectomy, but only 2.5% after gastrectomy without splenectomy (p < 0.05). Posto...
متن کاملMorbidity, mortality and survival after stomach resection with or without splenectomy--the single centre observations.
UNLABELLED Over the last decade, gastric cancer treatment has changed from extensive multiorgan resections towards less invasive approaches with limited resections and a more selective lymphadenectomy. Despite all available trials, the conclusions on the extent of necessary resections still remain debatable. The aim of the study was to assess the short term outcomes (morbidity and mortality) of...
