Importance: Postoperative mortality after junctional and gastric adenocarcinoma resection remains a significant issue.

Objective: To identify factors predictive of mortality within 30 days of junctional and gastric adenocarcinoma resection in a large national multicenter cohort.

Design: A retrospective study collecting data from a multicenter database of patients who underwent resection for junctional and gastric adenocarcinoma from January 1, 1997, through January 31, 2010.

Background: Whereas palliative chemotherapy offers a median survival of approximately 10 months in advanced gastric and junctional adenocarcinoma (AGJA), the survival impact of primary tumor resection is controversial. Our purpose was to identify which AGJA patients benefit from palliative resection.

Methods: In 3,202 AGJA patients scheduled for surgery in 21 French centers between 1997 and 2010, prognostic factors were identified in palliative group and the impact of each combination of these factors on survival was studied.

Objective: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the survival impact of perioperative chemotherapy (PCT) in patients with gastric signet ring cell (SRC) adenocarcinoma.

Background: PCT is a standard treatment for advanced resectable gastric adenocarcinoma (GA). SRC has a worse prognosis compared to non-SRC and the chemosensitivity of SRC is uncertain.
