Gastrectomy with combined resection of other organs for carcinoma of the stomach with invasion to adjacent organs: clinical efficacy in a retrospective study.

Abstract

The best indication for an en bloc combined organ resection was an invasion limited to only one other organ, not more than N2, no incurable factor, and any type except Borrmann type IV. Additionally, an en bloc combined resection would be worth trying for any type of gastric carcinoma with not more than P1 dissemination and with no other incurable factor.
