title: Evaluation of gastrectomy combined with the resection of other organs in the treatment of gastric cancer.
abstract: We evaluated the prognostic significance of gastrectomy combined with resection of adjacent organs in 154 cases. Patients who had undergone gastrectomy with or without combined splenectomy showed similar results and cases with combined colectomy showed a poor survival rate. However, relatively favorable results were obtained in gastrectomy cases in which combined pancreas or liver resection was performed due to direct cancer infiltration.
