Background: Few current preoperative risk assessment tools provide essential, optimized treatment for gastric cancer. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a nomogram that uses preoperative data to predict survival and risk assessments.
Methods: A survival prediction model was constructed using data from a developmental cohort of 1251 patients with stage I to III gastric cancer who underwent curative resection between January 2005 and December 2008 at Ajou University Hospital, Korea.
Article Synopsis
- Low serum total cholesterol (TC) is linked to higher complications and poorer survival outcomes in patients with gastric cancer undergoing surgery.
- A study involving 1251 patients utilized advanced statistical methods to control for biases and found significant differences in complication rates based on TC levels.
- Preoperative TC can serve as an important predictor for identifying high-risk gastric cancer patients, potentially guiding their treatment and follow-up care.
Purpose: The robotic system for surgery was introduced to gastric cancer surgery in the early 2000s to overcome the shortcomings of laparoscopic surgery. The more recently introduced da Vinci Xi system offers benefits allowing four-quadrant access, greater range of motion, and easier docking through an overhead boom rotation with laser targeting. We aimed to identify whether the Xi system provides actual advantages over the Si system in gastrectomy for gastric cancer by comparing the operative outcomes.
