Introduction
The three most common primary malignant gastric neoplasms are
• Adenocarcinoma (95%),
• Lymphoma (4%),
• Malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) (1%)
Gastric adenocarcinoma is a malignant epithelial tumour,
originating from glandular epithelium of the gastric mucosa.
Epidemiology
• Gastric cancer is the 3rd most
common cause of cancer death and
5th most common cancer
worldwide.
• The incidence is highest in Japan,
and Korea
• Male to female ratio 2 : 1
• 2x Blacks then whites
• Older age
• Shift of site – distal to proximal
cardia due to smoking and alcohol
abuse
Classification
WHO Classification:
1. Adenocarcinoma
a. Papillary adenocarcinoma
b. Tubular adenocarcinoma
c. Mucinous adenocarcinoma
d. Signet-ring cell carcinoma
2. Adenosquamous carcinoma
3. Squamous cell Ca
4. Small cell Ca
5. Undifferentiated Ca
6. Others
Risk factors
Increase risk
Family history
Diet (nitrates, salt, fat)
Familial polyposis
Gastric adenomas
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer
Helicobacter pylori infection
Previous gastrectomy or gastrojejunostomy (>10yrs)
Tobacco use
Chronic alcohol consumption
Menetrier’s disease – rare disorder xzed by mucosal folds in the stomach
Blood type A
Decrease risk
Aspirin
Diet (high fresh fruit and vegetable)
Vitamin C
Pathogenesis…
Clinical features
Generally nonspecific and contribute to its frequently advanced stage at the
time of diagnosis.
• Weight loss and Persistent abdominal pain are the most common
symptoms at initial diagnosis .
• Weight loss usually results from insufficient caloric intake & Postprandial fullness.
• Loss of appetite.
• Abdominal pain tends to be epigastric, vague and mild (early in the
disease) but more severe and constant as the disease progresses.
• Gastric outlet obstruction, non-bilious vomiting, (+)succussion splash.
• Dysphagia, cancers arising in the proximal stomach.
Other clinical features…
• Early satiety , form of diffuse-type gastric cancer called linitis
plastica, from poor distensibility of the stomach.
• Occult gastrointestinal bleeding with or without iron deficiency
anemia.
• Overt bleeding, melena or hematemesis.
• Pseudoachalasia syndrome involvement of Auerbach's plexus due to
local extension or to malignant obstruction near the gastroesophageal
junction.
Signs of tumor extension
(late feature)
• Virchow’s node : left supraclavicular node
• Irish’s node: Left axillary nodes
• Sister Mary Joseph nodule: Umbilical metastases.
• Peritoneal spread (transcoelomic) can present with an enlarged ovary
Krukenberg's tumor
• A mass in the cul-de-sac (rectouterine or rectovesicle pouch) on rectal
examination or PV exams Blummer's shelf
• Ascites: Peritoneal carcinomatosis.
• Palpable liver mass with or without jaundice due to hepatic metastases.
Diffuse seborrheic keratoses
Acanthosis nigricans
Clinical features…
Succussion splash test:
• A sloshing sound heard through
stethoscope during sudden mvt of
the pt on abdominal examination.
• It is elicited by placing a
stethoscope over the upper
abdomen and rocking the pt back
and forth at the hips.
• Retained gastric material greater
than three hours after meal will
generate a splashing sound
indicating the presence of hollow
viscus filled with fluid and gas.
Diagnosing ….
1) Barium contrast radiographs
Single-contrast examinations have a diagnostic accuracy of 80%
double-contrast (air and barium) 90%
 Ulceration,
 The presence of a gastric mass,
 Loss of mucosal detail,
 Distortion of the gastric silhouette
Barium contrast radiographs
Cont…
2 ) Intraluminal contrast, CT scan reliably demonstrate infiltration
• Gastric wall by tumor,
• Gastric ulceration,
• Hepatic metastasis
• Less reliable with regard to invasion of adjacent organs or the
presence of lymphatic metastases.
• 40% to 50% accuracy rate for ct scanning in preoperative local staging
of gastric carcinoma
Malignancy of the stomach and other stomach dysplasia.pptx
Endoscopic Ultrasound
• Excellent at delighting sub epithelial lesions , perigastric lymph nodes
involved.
• But because of a limited depth of tissue penetration, however,
endoscopic ultrasound is unable to detect hepatic metastases.
• Operator dependent and tends to overestimate the T stage of the
tumor, and may underestimate lymph node involvement since
normal-sized nodes (<5 mm) can harbor metastases.
• Accurate in distinguishing early gastric cancer from more advanced
tumors.
Endoscopy
• 90% of gastric cancers are detected by upper endoscopy and biopsy
• In cases of known gastric cancer, endoscopy is helpful to
 Establish treatment goals (cure or palliation),
 TNM stage,
 Assessment of response to previous therapeutic approaches
Other modalities
CXR
PET -scan
Staging Laparoscopy reveal small peritoneal implants or liver
metastases that were not detected on preoperative imaging studies
Peritoneal Cytology
Management …
• Surgery is the only curative treatment for gastric cancer
(Gastrectomy)
• Is the best palliation and provides the most accurate staging.
• Exceptions :-
1 patients who cannot tolerate an abdominal operation.
2 patients with overwhelming metastatic disease
Goal of curative surgical treatment
• Resection of all tumor.
• All margins (proximal, distal, and radial) should be negative
• Adequate lymphadenectomy performed
• Grossly negative margin of at least 5 cm, since some gastric tumors
are quite infiltrative and tumor cells can extend well beyond the
tumor mass

INTRAOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS
Hemorrhage
Acute ischemia of the left lobe of liver
Injury to Spleen Pacreas , common bile duct
Disruption of Ampulla of Vater
POST OPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS
• IMMEDIATE ( WITHIN 30 DAYS OF SURGERY )
• EARLY (W ITHIN 6 MONTHS )
• LATE ( AFTER 6 MONTHS )
IMMEDIATE COMPLICATION
ATELECTASIS 12 – 20 %
PNEUMONIA 9%
RESPIRTORY FAILURE 3 %
PULOMNARY EMBOLISM 0.05%
VENOUS THROMBOSIS OF LOWER LIMBS
WOUND INFECTION
SUBPHRENIC ABSCESS
ACUTE PANCREATITIS
EARLY COMPLICATIONS
POST OPERATIVE ANASTOMOTIC HEMORRHAGE
ANASTOMOTIC LEAK
DUODENAL STUMP LEAK
SMALL BOEL OBSTRUTION
STOMAL OBSTRUCTION
Management at health center or dispensary
Perform conservative management such as :-
• Insert IV lines for giving IV fluids ( RL, NS or DNS depending on RBG )
• Draw blood sample for Hb, BG and X-Match
• Give anti pain whenever necessary
• Catheterize the patient to monitor urine output
• Perform any available imaging
• Refer to the higher hospital for further management including
possible gastrectomy.

Editor's Notes

  • #14: The most common metastatic distribution is to the liver, peritoneal surfaces, and non-regional or distant lymph nodes. Less commonly, ovaries, central nervous system, bone, pulmonary or soft tissue metastases occur. Trousseau's syndrome is a rare variant of venous thromboembolism (VTE) that is characterized by recurrent, migratory thrombosis in superficial veins and in uncommon sites, such as the chest wall and arms. This syndrome is particularly associated with pancreatic and lung cancer. Trousseau's Syndrome can be an early sign of gastric or pancreatic cancer, typically appearing months to years before the tumor would be otherwise detected
