Purpose: Management of patients with synchronous hepatic metastases as the sole metastatic site at diagnosis of gastric cancer is debated. We studied a cohort of patients admitted to surgical units, investigating prognostic factors of clinical relevance and the results of various therapeutic strategies.Methods: Retrospective multicentre chart review. We evaluated how survival from surgery was influenced by patient-related, gastric cancer-related, metastasis-related and treatment-related candidate prognostic factors.Results: Forty-four patients received palliative surgery without resection, 98 palliative gastrectomy (in 16 cases associated with R+ hepatectomy), whereas 53 patients received both curative gastrectomy and hepatic resection(s) (R0). Adjuvant chemotherapy was administered to 44 patients. Therapeutic approach was selected on the basis of extension of disease, patient’s general conditions and surgeon’s attitude. Surgical mortality was 4.6 % and morbidity was 17.4 %. Survival was independently influenced by the factor T of the gastric primary (p = 0.036) and by the degree of hepatic involvement (p = 0.010). T > 2 and H3 liver involvement were associated with worse prognosis with cumulative effect (p = 0.002). Therapeutic approach to the metastases (p = 0.009) and adjuvant chemotherapy (p < 0.001) displayed independent impact upon survival, with benefit for those receiving aggressive multimodal treatment. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 50.4, 14.0, and 9.3 %, respectively, for patients submitted to curative surgery, 16, 8.5, and 4.3 % after palliative gastrectomy, and 6.8, 2.3, and 0 % after palliative surgery without resection.Conclusions: Our data suggest some clinical criteria that may facilitate selection of candidates to curative surgery, which offers the best survival chances, especially when associated with adjuvant chemotherapy. © 2014, Society of Surgical Oncology

Abstract

Purpose: Management of patients with synchronous hepatic metastases as the sole metastatic site at diagnosis of gastric cancer is debated. We studied a cohort of patients admitted to surgical units, investigating prognostic factors of clinical relevance and the results of various therapeutic strategies.Methods: Retrospective multicentre chart review. We evaluated how survival from surgery was influenced by patient-related, gastric cancer-related, metastasis-related and treatment-related candidate prognostic factors.Results: Forty-four patients received palliative surgery without resection, 98 palliative gastrectomy (in 16 cases associated with R+ hepatectomy), whereas 53 patients received both curative gastrectomy and hepatic resection(s) (R0). Adjuvant chemotherapy was administered to 44 patients. Therapeutic approach was selected on the basis of extension of disease, patient’s general conditions and surgeon’s attitude. Surgical mortality was 4.6 % and morbidity was 17.4 %. Survival was independently influenced by the factor T of the gastric primary (p = 0.036) and by the degree of hepatic involvement (p = 0.010). T > 2 and H3 liver involvement were associated with worse prognosis with cumulative effect (p = 0.002). Therapeutic approach to the metastases (p = 0.009) and adjuvant chemotherapy (p < 0.001) displayed independent impact upon survival, with benefit for those receiving aggressive multimodal treatment. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 50.4, 14.0, and 9.3 %, respectively, for patients submitted to curative surgery, 16, 8.5, and 4.3 % after palliative gastrectomy, and 6.8, 2.3, and 0 % after palliative surgery without resection.Conclusions: Our data suggest some clinical criteria that may facilitate selection of candidates to curative surgery, which offers the best survival chances, especially when associated with adjuvant chemotherapy. © 2014, Society of Surgical Oncology
