Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of splenectomy in potentially curative total gastrectomy for proximal gastric carcinoma in terms of survival benefit and post-operative morbidity.


Clinical Trial Description

European clinical trials of gastrectomy showed that splenectomy is an important risk factor for post-operative morbidity and mortality. Retrospective comparisons suggested that splenectomy is associated with poor long term survival. However, Japanese studies revealed that 20 - 30 % of patients with non-early carcinoma in the proximal stomach have nodal metastasis in the splenic hilum and therefore, pancreas-preserving splenectomy is part of the standard operation in specialized centers where splenectomy is not considered a risk factor for operative mortality. There have been no prospective randomized trials to evaluate the survival benefit of splenectomy in total gastrectomy for proximal gastric cancer.

Comparison: Total gastrectomy with pancreas-preserving splenectomy versus total gastrectomy without splenectomy ;
