Zusammenfassung: | Background
Some studies have shown that gastrectomy performed by experienced surgeons in high‐volume specialized hospitals with the possibility of complete treatment has better results. This study aimed to compare the results of patients who underwent surgery at a reference center with non‐specialized centers.
Methods
Patients with gastric adenocarcinoma stage as pTNM II and III who underwent curative gastrectomy and were referred for adjuvant chemotherapy between 2009 and 2018 were included. Patients were divided into two groups: patients operated on in a reference center with complete oncological treatment (Reference Group); and those operated on in an external Hospital and referred for adjuvant treatment at the reference center (External Group).
Results
A total of 643 patients were evaluated, 307 in the external group and 336 in the reference group. Patients in the external group were younger (58.9 vs. 62.6 years; p |
