[Evaluation of prognostic factors in surgery of gastric cancer].
The prognostic role of some clinical and pathologic variables in patients with carcinoma of the stomach was evaluated. While for some of these (invasion of the gastric wall, nodal status) the prognostic value is widely accepted, for the others (age, sex, size and site of tumors, histologic type, surgical procedure) the prognostic significance has not been fully defined. Using univariate analysis, the best predictors of survival after curative resection were nodal status, histologic type and serosal involvement. As related to the last three, using a multivariate analysis, the serosal involvement was the most important prognostic variable.
