Summary: | Introduction: Gastric cancer is the fourth most common cancer at present and the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide.Objective: The aim of this study is to characterize the patients with gastric adenocarcinoma operated on at “Dr. Carlos J. Finlay” Hospital during the period between 2009 and 2016.Material and Methods: A descriptive retrospective study was conducted in patients operated on for gastric adenocarcinoma in an eight-year period.Results: Male geriatric patients prevailed in the study. Gastric ulcer was the most frequent form of presentation in 54,7 %. Tumors of the antrum predominated in 72,0 %, with moderate degree of differentiation in 61,3 % of patients. The majority of tumors were in stage IIIA. The most used surgical methods were distal gastrectomy which was performed in 56,0 % of patients and exeretic procedures that were carried out in 68,0 % of patients. Operative mortality was 6,0 % with prevalence of hypovolemic shock.Conclusion: There was a predominance of male geriatric patients who underwent the surgical technique of distal gastrectomy. Gastric ulceration was the most common clinical form of presentation as well as tumors of the antrum in stage IIIA, in which there was a moderate degree of differentiation. Advanced stage tumors and palliative procedures were significantly related to mortality.
Introducción: El cáncer gástrico ocupa hoy el cuarto lugar de incidencia mundial de cáncer y es la segunda causa de muerte por cáncer en el mundo.Objetivo: Caracterizar a los pacientes operados con adenocarcinoma gástrico en el Hospital “Dr. Carlos J. Finlay”. 2009–2016. Material y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo retrospectivo a los pacientes operados con adenocarcinoma gástrico en un periodo de 8 años.Resultados: Prevalecieron los pacientes geriátricos del sexo masculino. La forma más frecuente de presentación fue la úlcera gástrica en 54,7%. Predominaron los tumores del antro en 72,0%, moderadamente diferenciados en 61,3% de pacientes. La mayoría de los tumores se encontraban en estadio IIIA. De los procedimientos quirúrgicos predominó la gastrectomía distal en 56,0% y los procederes exeréticos en 68,0% de pacientes. La mortalidad operatoria fue de 6,0%, con prevalencia del shock hipovolémico.Conclusiones: Predominaron los pacientes geriátricos del sexo masculino cuya técnica quirúrgica fue la gastrectomía distal. Como forma clínica sobresalió la úlcera gástrica, así como los tumores del antro en estadio IIIA, moderadamente diferenciados. El estadio avanzado y los procedimientos paliativos se relacionaron de manera significativa con la mortalidad. |
