24. TNM classification

T - tumor

TIS - intraepithelial cancer.

T1 - the tumor affects only the mucous membrane and

submucosal layer.

T2 - the tumor penetrates deeply, takes no more than

half of one anatomical region.


T3 - a tumor with deep invasion captures more than

half of one anatomical region, but not

affects neighboring anatomical regions.

T4 - the tumor affects more than one anatomical

department and extends to neighboring organs

1. Polyposis cancer.


2. Ulcerative (saucer-shaped) cancer

3. Infiltrative and ulcerative tumor.

4. Scirrhous gastric cancer with a diffuse infiltrative type of growth.

Palliative surgery for gastric cancer


The operation is aimed at improving the general condition and nutrition of the patient, not

eliminating stomach cancer. Such operations are considered a bypass anastomosis between

stomach and small intestine - gastroenteroanastomosis, gastro- and jejunostomy.

With such an operation, the primary focus or cancer metastasis is removed

stomach. These operations include palliative resections, removal

metastasis and palliative gastrectomy.

Gastroenterostomy - treatment of stomach cancer by creating an anastomosis between

jejunum and stomach.


Gastrostomy is the insertion of a tube into the stomach through the abdomen.

Enterostomy - performed to create patency of the digestive

a path if there is no possibility of imposing of a gastromtomy, and also for food

sick.

According to Borrmann (2008) macroscopic

types of tumor growth are divided into


1) polypoid cancer - a tumor protruding into the lumen

stomach, on a broad base, with clear contours;

2) ulcerated form - a tumor that looks like an ulcer with

raised above the mucous membrane with dense edges,

with infiltration of the stomach wall around it;

3) ulcerative necrotic form - a tumor without clear


borders, goes to the unchanged wall of the stomach;

4) diffusely growing cancer without a noticeable tendency to

ulceration, borders of tumor growth

macroscopically indeterminate.

Most often cancer affects

pyloroanthral stomach (60%

observations);


On the lesser curvature, carcinoma develops in

20-25% of patients;

In the proximal section - in 10-15%;

On the front and back walls - in 2-5%

observations;

Total defeat is registered in 5%

patients.

N0 - no metastases

N1 - metastases in regional lymphatic

N2 - metastases in the extraligamentous lymphatic

20. Stage 3.

With cancer of the cardiac region (the initial part of the stomach)


symptoms of dysphagia (salivation, difficulty

during the passage of coarse food). Dysphagia increases as

progression of the disease and narrowing of the lumen of the esophagus. On this background

there is regurgitation of food, dull pain or a feeling of pressure behind

sternum, in the region of the heart or in the interscapular space. Cause

these symptoms may be stagnation of food in the esophagus, expansion of it.

With localization of cancer in the antrum (the final part of the stomach)

relatively early there is a feeling of heaviness in the upper abdomen,


vomiting of food eaten the day before, an unpleasant rotten smell of vomit.

For cancer of the body of the stomach (middle part of the stomach),

even with a significant size of the tumor, local symptoms of the disease

are absent for a long time, general symptoms predominate - weakness,

anemia, weight loss, etc.

3. Painful form of stomach cancer.

Often worried about pain in the upper abdomen, which can

give to the lower back and be associated with food intake.


Pain often continues for a long period

time, sometimes all day, may be aggravated by movement.

With stomach cancer, pain is not regular. They are

do not subside after eating, there are no "hungry" pains or their

seasonality. In some cases, with common forms

stomach cancer pain can be quite intense

character. When the tumor grows into the pancreas

or even deeper patients may complain of back pain.


Such patients are usually treated for sciatica,

neuralgia.

T1 - the tumor does not extend beyond the cardia;

T2 - the tumor occupies the cardiac region;

TK - tumor of the cardia extends to the esophagus and

body of the stomach.

Four stages can be identified

Only the gastric mucosa is affected.

Cancer treatment in this case is possible without

strip operation, with

using endoscopic techniques and

the use of anesthesia.

In this case, the treatment of stomach cancer has


the most favorable prognosis - 90% of cases

convalescence.

The tumor penetrates deeper into the mucosa

shell, and also creates metastases in

lymph nodes around the stomach.


Survival with cancer treatment at this stage

is 60-80%, but such cancer is detected

rarely.

The tumor does not affect only the muscle

stomach tissue, there are metastases in

lymph nodes.

Five year survival at

Cancer penetrates entirely into the walls of the stomach,


lymph nodes are affected.

Stomach cancer of the 3rd degree is detected

quite often (1 case out of seven), but

five-year survival in this case -

A cancerous tumor penetrates not only into the stomach,

pancreas, large blood vessels,


peritoneum, liver, ovaries and even lungs.

Cancer in this form is diagnosed in 80% of patients.

Only in 5% of cases, the medical prognosis

improvement of the patency of the cardia.

Chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is performed for primary unresectable gastric cancer, relapses and metastases

surgical interventions and trial laparotomies. More often

of the entire treatment, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and ftorafur are used


both in the form of monotherapy and as part of various schemes

polychemotherapy. 5-FU is administered intravenously every other day from

calculation of 15 mg per 1 kg of the patient's weight (750-1000 mg).

The total dose of the drug for the course of treatment is 3.5-5 g.

another technique is to administer the drug in the same

single dose, but with a week break. Duration

The course of treatment in these cases is 6-8 weeks. Repeated


courses are carried out with an interval of 4-6 weeks.

Ftorafur is administered (intravenously or orally) in the daily

a dose of 30 mg / kg, which is divided into two doses with an interval of 12 hours

The incidence of cancer against the background of neoplastic adenomas varies in

wide limits. Malignancy of flat adenomas occurs in 621%, papillary - much more often (20-76%).

8. Small signs of stomach cancer

First, stomach cancer has signs,

common to cancer.


Chronic fatigue.

Fast fatiguability.

Unexplained weight loss.

Secondly, the presence of early stomach cancer can

signal a complex of symptoms, or the so-called

syndrome of small signs.

Discomfort in the stomach after eating: bloating,

a feeling of fullness.

Frequent nausea, vomiting, slight salivation.


Pain in the epigastrium: aching, pulling, dull. May occur

periodically, often appear after eating.

Loss of appetite not motivated by other factors.

Frequent heartburn, difficulty swallowing food and liquids (if

the tumor originated in the upper part of the stomach).


Vomiting of stagnant contents (eaten a day or two ago);

vomiting "coffee grounds" or with blood,

The main study for gastric cancer is FGDS, which gives


the possibility of a detailed examination of the mucous membrane of the esophagus,

Allows you to assess the functionality of the body, gives

the possibility of suspecting gastric cancer or the onset of recurrence of the tumor. Such


diagnostic method is necessary in order to carry out effective treatment in the future

stomach cancer.

Endoscopic ultrasonography - allows you to accurately examine the condition

all layers of the stomach and in 80-90% of cases accurately determine the depth of the tumor.

The direction of magnifying endoscopy occupies one of the leading places in

clarifying diagnosis of gastric pathology, as it allows to identify

minimal disturbances in the typical architectonics of the mucous membrane and to distinguish between


areas of intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia or the presence of neoplastic changes.

Improving endoscopic examination is in the direction of introducing

narrow-spectrum (NBI-endoscopy). These are high-tech methods that

allow early detection of gastric cancer, and

promote identification of the centers of a tumor against hron. stomach diseases.

in unclear cases, to detect germination in surrounding organs


neoplasms, metastases in the peritoneum and for taking a biopsy. This method is sometimes

essential for effective treatment of gastric cancer.

Gastric cancer and blood tests for tumor markers - proteins that

produced by the tumor and not present in the healthy body. With the aim of

CEA, Ca 19.9 and Ca 72.4 are used for cancer detection. However, they all have

low diagnostic value. They have found their use in patients for

19. ROUTES OF METASTASIS

Gastric cancer metastasizes predominantly

by the lymphogenous route. Also possible

hematogenous, contact and

implantation pathway.

In addition, there are combinations of all three

ways of metastasis.

The following is most often noted


first regional barriers are affected

(lymph nodes located in

ligaments of the stomach), then lymph nodes,

accompanying large arteries, feeding

51. Treatment of gastric cancer

Treatment is surgical.

Gastric cancer is an absolute indication for

operations. Radical


intervention is resection

1) transection of the stomach, duodenum

and esophagus within healthy tissues;

2) removal in a single block with the stomach of three groups

be oncological and general


character. Operation is contraindicated

with distant metastases in

liver, lungs, supraclavicular

general is sharp

diseases.

The treatment of cancer is different from the treatment of other organs.

If with carcinomas in other organs, surgery

is done only when the usual

therapy, then the opposite is true for stomach cancer.

Only surgery can save


sick. This is explained by the fact that the signs of cancer

unstable and may not appear for months, eventually

the patient comes already at the moment when it began

phase of stenosis and metastasis.

Chemotherapy, despite its possibilities, rarely

helps to stop the development of metastases and destroy cancer

cells in adjacent organs.


Radiation therapy, which is used for most cancers

formations, in cases with the stomach is not carried out.

Medical treatment will no longer bring any

result, so the only way is the surgical path.

If the carcinoma is small, then do

resection of the stomach, removing most of it.


But in many cases, the stomach has to be removed completely,

at the same time, all affected lymph nodes are removed. During

operations, the esophagus is sewn directly to the intestine.

In addition to removing the tumor of the stomach, removal of lymph nodes and fatty tissue is performed.

fiber. Lymph node dissection makes it possible to significantly increase the 5-year


survival and reduce the number of relapses. All operations are performed

minimally invasive using laparoscopic techniques. Subtal resection

is done with a small tumor, which is located at the exit from the stomach, and

approximately 4/5 of the stomach is removed. The remaining cases are the removal of the stomach and

all areas in which lymph nodes with metastases are located, while

the esophagus is sutured to the small intestine.

Treatment with surgical radical intervention

subtotal proximal resection of the stomach;


gastrectomy;

subtotal distal resection of the stomach.

Subtotal distal resection

During this operation, ¾ of the distal stomach with a ligamentous apparatus is removed and

lymph nodes. The entire lesser curvature is removed.

Subtotal proximal resection of the stomach

This operation involves the removal of the entire lesser curvature of the stomach with

paraesophageal lymph nodes and lesser omentum, as well as


part of the greater omentum.

Treatment of gastric cancer with gastrectomy

With it, the complete removal of the stomach with the ligamentous apparatus is carried out,

omentums and all areas of metastasis.

If stomach cancer has spread to neighboring organs, do

extended combined resections and gastrectomy, and together

with complete or partial removal of the stomach, a part of the neighboring

Stomach cancer

A symptom of atypical relief is a defect that reflects the tumor node. The shape of this node is uneven, irregular, the outlines are vague.

A typical sign of a change in relief in gastric cancer is a persistent spot, or depot of barium, due to ulceration of the tumor. The shape of the spot is wrong. The contours are uneven, fuzzy.

In some cases, radiographs reveal powerful hyperplastic, expanded, randomly located folds with a “clipping symptom” or, conversely, the absence of folds

- "symptom of a bald area"

Fig.2. X-ray for stomach cancer. Near the angle of the stomach, there is a thickening of the stomach wall due to intramural infiltration (marked with an arrow).

Pyloric stenosis

The main causes of pyloric stenosis:

1. Scarring in the pyloric area

2. Stricture after chemical burn

3. Neoplasm at the outlet of the stomach

4. Germination of the tumor from neighboring organs. Stages of stenosis:

1. Forming stenosis: there is no clear CC, on x-ray examination the stomach is not dilated, peristalsis is normal or somewhat increased, the stomach is completely emptied

2. Compensated: the stomach is of normal size or somewhat dilated, on an empty stomach - liquid, peristalsis is weakened. The evacuation of the contrast mass is delayed by 6-12 hours. EGDS reveals a pronounced cicatricial deformity of the pyloroduodenal canal with a narrowing of the lumen to 0.5 cm

3. Subcompensated stenosis: a decrease in the tone of the stomach and its moderate expansion is determined, on an empty stomach it retains fluid. Peristalsis is weakened, barium lingers in the stomach for 12-24 hours. With endoscopy - stretching of the stomach, narrowing of the lumen of the pyloroduodenal canal to 0.3 cm

Epidemiology

Gastric cancer is the second most common cause of death from malignant neoplasms. The highest incidence is recorded in Japan, China, Korea, countries of South and Central America, as well as in Eastern Europe, including the former Soviet republics. In the Russian Federation, about 40 thousand primary patients with stomach cancer are registered annually, 35 thousand die. The incidence is 28.4 per 100 thousand population. Since the middle of the 20th century, there has been a decrease in the incidence of gastric cancer worldwide due to patients with cancer of the distal stomach of the intestinal type, while the proportion of cardia cancer has been growing, and most rapidly among people under 40 years old.

slide 3

Epidemiological classification according to Lauren

Intestinal type: The tumor has a structure similar to colorectal cancer and is characterized by distinct glandular structures consisting of well-differentiated columnar epithelium with a developed brush border. Diffuse type: the tumor is represented by poorly organized groups or single cells with a high content of mucin (cricoid) and is characterized by diffuse infiltrative growth.

Epidemiology of stomach cancer

Peak incidence 50-60 years Men are 2-12 times more likely to get sick Localization: more often distal. However, there is a trend towards an increase in proximal and cardio-esophageal cancer, especially in Europe and America Asia - distal cancer is much more common (better treatment results and prognosis!)

Biography

Genus. April 23, 1867 in Silkeborg, Denmark. He studied bacteriology under the guidance of R. Koch and E. von Behring, worked together with Carl Salomonsen at the University of Copenhagen. A doctoral thesis in the bacteriology of diphtheria was completed in 1895, and in 1900 a university professor of pathology. Introduced Behring's serum for the treatment of diphtheria in Denmark and investigated the relationship between outbreaks of tuberculosis in cows and the spread of this disease in humans. Rat tuberculosis and gastric cancer with Spiroptera neoplastica (Gongylonema neoplasticum). In the 1920s, he conducted a comparative experimental study of cancer caused by coal tar, Spiroptera neoplastica and clinical manifestations. The combination of external influences with a genetic, not general, but organ predisposition to cancer. Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology in 1926. “For the first time, it has become possible to experimentally transform normal cells into malignant cells of cancerous tumors. Thus, it was convincingly shown not that cancer is always caused by worms, but that it can be provoked by external influences ”(W. Wernshtedt). He died in Copenhagen on January 30, 1928 from rectal cancer.

Surgical treatment of resectable gastric cancer stage I-IV

Gastrectomy Subtotal distal resection of the stomach Subtotal proximal resection of the stomach Extirpation of the operated stomach

Slide 61

Selecting the volume of the operation

Distal subtotal resection of the stomach is indicated for tumors of exophytic or mixed form of growth located below the conditional line connecting the point located 5 cm below the cardia along the lesser curvature and the gap between the right and left gastroepiploic arteries along the greater curvature. Proximal subtotal resection of the stomach is performed for cancer of the cardia and cardioesophageal junction. In cancer of the upper third of the stomach, it is possible to perform both proximal subtotal resection and gastrectomy. In all other cases, gastrectomy is indicated.

Slide 62

Slide 63

When tumors of exophytic and mixed forms of growth spread to the esophagus, a deviation of 5 cm from the palpable edge of the tumor in the proximal direction is acceptable. In tumors of the endophytic form of growth, the spread of cancer cells in the proximal direction can reach 10-12 cm from the visible edge of the tumor. If the retropericardial segment of the esophagus is involved, it is advisable to perform a subtotal resection of the esophagus. Morphological control of resection margins is mandatory

Slide 64

Choice of online access

In case of gastric cancer without involving the rosette of the cardia, an upper median laparotomy to the body of the sternum and a wide diaphragmotomy according to Savinykh are performed. In case of tumors affecting the rosette of the cardia or passing to the esophagus to the level of the diaphragm, the operation is performed from the thoracolaparotomy access in the VI-VII intercostal space on the left. When the tumor spreads above the diaphragm, it is necessary to perform a separate laparotomy and thoracotomy in the V-VI intercostal space on the right.

Epidemiology

Gastric cancer is the second most common cause of death from malignant neoplasms. The highest incidence is recorded in Japan, China, Korea, countries of South and Central America, as well as in Eastern Europe, including the former Soviet republics. In the Russian Federation, about 40 thousand primary patients with stomach cancer are registered annually, 35 thousand die. The incidence is 28.4 per 100 thousand population. Since the middle of the 20th century, there has been a decrease in the incidence of gastric cancer worldwide due to patients with cancer of the distal stomach of the intestinal type, while the proportion of cardia cancer has been growing, and most rapidly among people under 40 years old.

Biography

Genus. April 23, 1867 in Silkeborg, Denmark. He studied bacteriology under the guidance of R. Koch and E. von Behring, worked together with Carl Salomonsen at the University of Copenhagen. A doctoral thesis in the bacteriology of diphtheria was completed in 1895, and in 1900 a university professor of pathology. Introduced Behring's serum for the treatment of diphtheria in Denmark and investigated the relationship between outbreaks of tuberculosis in cows and the spread of this disease in humans. Rat tuberculosis and gastric cancer with Spiroptera neoplastica (Gongylonema neoplasticum). In the 1920s, he conducted a comparative experimental study of cancer caused by coal tar, Spiroptera neoplastica and clinical manifestations. The combination of external influences with a genetic, not general, but organ predisposition to cancer. Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology in 1926. “For the first time, it has become possible to experimentally transform normal cells into malignant cells of cancerous tumors. Thus, it was convincingly shown not that cancer is always caused by worms, but that it can be provoked by external influences ”(W. Wernshtedt). He died in Copenhagen on January 30, 1928 from rectal cancer.

    Surgical treatment of resectable gastric cancer stage I-IV Scope of operation Gastrectomy Subtotal distal resection of the stomach Subtotal proximal resection of the stomach Extirpation of the operated stomach

    Slide 61

    Selection of the scope of the operation Distal subtotal resection of the stomach is indicated for tumors of exophytic or mixed form of growth located below the conditional line connecting the point located 5 cm below the cardia along the lesser curvature and the gap between the right and left gastroepiploic arteries along the greater curvature. Proximal subtotal resection of the stomach is performed for cancer of the cardia and cardioesophageal junction. In cancer of the upper third of the stomach, it is possible to perform both proximal subtotal resection and gastrectomy. In all other cases, gastrectomy is indicated.

    Slide 62

    Choice of the scope of the operation Additional criteria influencing the choice of the scope of the operation: age, comorbidities, underlying diseases of the stomach, prognosis, other factors (the course of anesthesia, anatomical features, subjective, etc.)

    Slide 63

    Choosing the scope of the operation When tumors of exophytic and mixed forms of growth spread to the esophagus, a deviation of 5 cm from the palpable edge of the tumor in the proximal direction is acceptable. In tumors of the endophytic form of growth, the spread of cancer cells in the proximal direction can reach 10-12 cm from the visible edge of the tumor. If the retropericardial segment of the esophagus is involved, it is advisable to perform a subtotal resection of the esophagus. Morphological control of resection margins is mandatory

    Slide 64

    Choice of operative approach In case of gastric cancer without involving the rosette of the cardia, an upper median laparotomy to the body of the sternum and a wide diaphragmotomy according to Savinykh are performed. In case of tumors affecting the rosette of the cardia or passing to the esophagus to the level of the diaphragm, the operation is performed from the thoracolaparotomy access in the VI-VII intercostal space on the left. When the tumor spreads above the diaphragm, it is necessary to perform a separate laparotomy and thoracotomy in the V-VI intercostal space on the right.

    FUNCTIONAL ASPECTS OF THE OPERATION

    Options for plastic surgery after proximal resection of the stomach After proximal resection of the stomach, the methods of esophago-gastrostomy and interposition of a loop of the large or small intestine are used. The weak point of esophagogastrostomy is the high incidence of reflux esophagitis. From a physiological point of view, the interposition method is the best, and if the length of the interposed intestine is 30 cm or more, the risk of reflux esophagitis is minimal.

    Stomach cancer, what is it?

    Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in humans. By
    incidence statistics, gastric cancer ranks first in many countries, in particular,
    in the Scandinavian countries, in Japan, in Ukraine, in Russia and other CIS countries.
    At the same time, in the USA, France, England, Spain, Israel, in the last twenty years there has been
    reduction in the incidence of stomach cancer. Many experts believe that this happened
    by improving food storage conditions with widespread use
    refrigeration units, which reduced the need for preservatives. In these countries
    decreased consumption of salt, salty and smoked foods, increased consumption of
    dairy products, organic, fresh vegetables and fruits.
    The high incidence of stomach cancer in the above countries, with the exception of Japan,
    according to many authors, due to the consumption of foods containing
    nitrites. Nitrosamines are formed from nitrites by transformation in the stomach.
    Currently, gastric cancer began to be detected more often at a young age, in age groups.
    groups of 40-50 years. The largest group of gastric cancers are adenocarcinomas and
    undifferentiated cancers. Cancers usually develop as a result of chronic
    inflammatory diseases of the stomach.
    It has now been proven that in an absolutely healthy stomach, cancer is almost non-existent.
    arises. It is preceded by a precancerous condition. Most often this happens when
    chronic gastritis with low acidity, ulcers and polyps in the stomach. On average from
    precancer to cancer takes 10 to 20 years.

    The structure of the stomach

    Histological structure of the stomach

    Precancerous conditions

    chronic atrophic gastritis
    chronic stomach ulcer
    adenomatous polyps
    intestinal metaplasia of the gastric mucosa
    severe dysplasia of the gastric mucosa
    Menetrier's disease (growth of the mucous membrane).
    anemia caused by vitamin B12 deficiency.
    This vitamin plays an important role in the formation of cells
    body, especially the epithelium of the gastrointestinal tract.

    Precancers

    The first signs of stomach cancer

    First, stomach cancer has signs,
    common to cancer.
    Chronic fatigue.
    Fast fatiguability.
    Unexplained weight loss.

    Small signs of stomach cancer

    Secondly, the presence of early stomach cancer can
    signal a complex of symptoms, or the so-called
    syndrome of small signs.
    Discomfort in the stomach after eating: bloating,
    a feeling of fullness.
    Frequent nausea, vomiting, slight salivation.
    Pain in the epigastrium: aching, pulling, dull. May occur
    periodically, often appear after eating.
    Loss of appetite not motivated by other factors.
    Frequent heartburn, difficulty swallowing food and liquids (if
    the tumor originated in the upper part of the stomach).
    Vomiting of stagnant contents (eaten a day or two ago);
    vomiting "coffee grounds" or with blood,
    loose black stools - signs of bleeding in the stomach,
    requiring an urgent call for an ambulance.

    Symptoms of stomach cancer largely depend on the location of the tumor.

    With cancer of the cardiac region (the initial part of the stomach)
    symptoms of dysphagia (salivation, difficulty
    during the passage of coarse food). Dysphagia increases as
    progression of the disease and narrowing of the lumen of the esophagus. On this background
    there is regurgitation of food, dull pain or a feeling of pressure behind
    sternum, in the region of the heart or in the interscapular space. Cause
    these symptoms may be stagnation of food in the esophagus, expansion of it.
    With localization of cancer in the antrum (the final part of the stomach)
    relatively early there is a feeling of heaviness in the upper abdomen,
    vomiting of food eaten the day before, an unpleasant rotten smell of vomit.
    For cancer of the body of the stomach (middle part of the stomach),
    even with a significant size of the tumor, local symptoms of the disease
    are absent for a long time, general symptoms predominate - weakness,
    anemia, weight loss, etc.

    3. Painful form of stomach cancer.
    Often worried about pain in the upper abdomen, which can
    give to the lower back and be associated with food intake.
    Pain often continues for a long period
    time, sometimes all day, may be aggravated by movement.
    With stomach cancer, pain is not regular. They are
    do not subside after eating, there are no "hungry" pains or their
    seasonality. In some cases, with common forms
    stomach cancer pain can be quite intense
    character. When the tumor grows into the pancreas
    or even deeper patients may complain of back pain.
    Such patients are usually treated for sciatica,
    neuralgia.

    Histogenesis of stomach cancer

    The question is debatable. There are several hypotheses about the sources
    occurrence of various histological types of cancer
    stomach.
    For example, Professor V.V. Serov believes that stomach cancer
    arises from a single source - cambial elements, or
    progenitor cells in the foci of dysplasia and outside them.
    Some European authors suggest that
    adenocarcinoma of the stomach arises from the intestinal epithelium, and
    undifferentiated cancers - from the gastric.
    Head Professor I.V. Vasilenko, head of the DonGMU department, believes that
    source of adenocarcinomas are
    proliferating cells of the pit-covering epithelium
    mucous membrane of the stomach, and from the epithelium of the necks of the glands
    undifferentiated cancers.

    The nature of metastasis

    Gastric cancer is prone to early
    the occurrence of a large number of metastases.

    Metastasis of stomach cancer is carried out - lymphogenous, hematogenous and implantation (contact) way.

    Of particular importance are lymphogenous metastases in regional lymph nodes.
    nodes located along the lesser and greater curvature of the stomach, as well as in
    lymph nodes of the greater and lesser omentum. They appear first and determine
    volume and nature of the surgical intervention. to distant lymphogenous
    metastases include metastases in the lymph nodes of the gate of the liver (periportal),
    parapancreatic and paraaortic. To the most important in terms of localization, which has
    diagnostic value, include retrograde lymphogenous metastases:
    - "Virchow metastases" - in the supraclavicular lymph nodes (often in the left);
    - "Krukenberg ovarian cancer" - in both ovaries;
    - "Schnitzler metastases" - in the lymph nodes of pararectal tissue.
    In addition, lymphogenous metastases to the pleura, lungs, and peritoneum are possible.
    Hematogenous metastases in the form of multiple nodes are found in the liver, in
    lungs, pancreas, bones, kidneys and adrenal glands.
    Implantation metastases are manifested in the form of multiple different
    the size of the tumor nodes in the parietal and visceral peritoneum, which
    accompanied by fibrinous-hemorrhagic exudate.

    Localization

    Most often, stomach cancer occurs:
    in the pyloric region
    then on the lesser curvature,
    in the cardia, on the greater curvature,
    less often - on the front and back wall,
    very rarely - in the bottom area.

    The degree of spread of the tumor of the cardia.

    T1 - the tumor does not extend beyond the cardia;
    T2 - the tumor occupies the cardiac region;
    TK - tumor of the cardia extends to the esophagus and
    body of the stomach.

    Stomach cancer stages

    Cancer detection from one stage to
    the other increases, and at the same time
    reduced life expectancy
    patient, the likelihood of recovery.
    Four stages can be identified
    disease progression:

    Zero stage.

    Only the gastric mucosa is affected.
    Cancer treatment in this case is possible without
    strip operation, with
    using endoscopic techniques and
    the use of anesthesia.
    In this case, the treatment of stomach cancer has
    the most favorable prognosis - 90% of cases
    convalescence.

    1 stage.

    The tumor penetrates deeper into the mucosa
    shell, and also creates metastases in
    lymph nodes around the stomach.
    Survival with cancer treatment at this stage
    is 60-80%, but such cancer is detected
    rarely.

    2 stage.

    The tumor does not affect only the muscle
    stomach tissue, there are metastases in
    lymph nodes.
    Five year survival at
    diagnosing the disease at stage 2 - 56%.

    3 stage.

    Cancer penetrates entirely into the walls of the stomach,
    lymph nodes are affected.
    Stomach cancer of the 3rd degree is detected
    quite often (1 case out of seven), but
    five-year survival in this case -
    15–38 %.

    4 stage.

    A cancerous tumor penetrates not only into the stomach,
    but also gives metastases to other organs:
    pancreas, large blood vessels,
    peritoneum, liver, ovaries and even lungs.
    Cancer in this form is diagnosed in 80% of patients.
    Only in 5% of cases, the medical prognosis
    the life expectancy of the patient exceeds 5 years.

    Stomach cancer is classified

    1. Polyposis cancer.
    2. Ulcerative (saucer-shaped) cancer
    stomach.
    3. Infiltrative and ulcerative tumor.
    4. Scirrhous gastric cancer with a diffuse infiltrative type of growth.

    For the polyposis form of the disease, stomach cancer is characterized by:

    1. Difficult visual differentiation from benign polyps with
    no signs of germination of the entire wall.
    2. Loss of diameter reduction that is characteristic of non-cancerous polyps
    base before attaching to the mucosa. The isthmus, on the contrary, thickens along
    diameter, acquiring the appearance of an elevated roller.
    3. Loose surface of the formation corroded by erosions and ulcers with foci
    bumpy elevations.
    4. When taking material for histological examination, crushing is observed
    tissue at the slightest effort, followed by bleeding.
    The results of the biopsy confirm the diagnosis of cancer. To do this, the collection of material from
    using tweezers is made from several suspicious areas and on
    border with visually unchanged tissue. Because in the areas of tumor decay,
    often, apart from necrotic tissue and inflammatory blood cells, nothing
    fails to identify. Statistically, when taking only one piece from the tumor
    the diagnosis of gastric cancer can be made only in 70% of cases, while when taking
    eight and from different parts of the tumor, the diagnosis increases to 96-99%.
    Increasing more than the number of pieces taken is essential for
    is no longer diagnostic. Experienced endoscopists also take a few pieces from
    one place, to study the depth of germination of cancer.

    Ulcerative (saucer-shaped) stomach cancer

    Occurs in 10-40% of diagnosed malignant neoplasias
    stomach. Most often located in the anterior wall of the antrum,
    less often - in other walls of the same department.
    Outwardly, it resembles the appearance of a small saucer up to 10 cm in diameter, with
    depressed bottom and elevated above the common surface of the mucosa
    bumpy edges, without a clear observance of a certain height, with
    comb-like influxes along the periphery. The bottom of the ulcer is also uneven. It
    may be covered with thin fibrous or lamellar
    overlays, from gray-yellow to red-brown or even black
    colors. The mucosa along the edges of the ulcer-cancer is not thickened, but also active
    contraction of the muscles of the stomach is also not determined here. When taking
    biopsy, denseness of the tumor tissue is felt, blood in response
    released in small quantities.

    Infiltrative-ulcerative cancer of the stomach

    Diagnosed in 45-60% of cases. Detect only on the lesser curvature
    any part of the stomach. Defined as slightly depressed rounded
    mucosal defect, with uneven edges and a diameter rarely exceeding 6
    see. The surface of the defect is uneven, dull, cloudy. uplift
    the edges of the ulcer along the periphery are rarely observed and their height is insignificant, without
    full coverage of the entire perimeter, often without a clear boundary of the transition to
    surrounding mucosa. Folding of the mucosa, preserved around the ulcer,
    interrupted in it and restored further throughout. However,
    mucosal folds near the tumor are wider, not so high, not
    deform when pressed and do not straighten when applied
    air. Muscular peristalsis of the stomach wall in their projection also does not
    observed. Taking a biopsy leaves behind a weak
    bleeding.

    Scirrhous gastric cancer with diffuse-infiltrative type of growth

    This type of malignant growth of stomach cancer is detected in 10-30% of cases. Diagnosing it
    with the help of endoscopic research methods is difficult and is built, for the most part,
    on indirect evidence: thickening of the stomach wall with stiff, somewhat
    reduced folding frequency of the mucosa with relative enlightenment in relation to
    surrounding areas. If the tumor begins to grow into the mucous membrane, then its diagnosis
    facilitated, since the appearance of the affected wall and its folding become
    characteristic of malignant diseases:
    a bulging contour of the affected area appears with the absence of peristaltic
    movements,
    folds "freeze" and do not respond to various influences,
    the gastric mucosa in these areas becomes gray-ashy.
    Redness of the affected areas of the mucosa, with possible soaking in blood,
    erosion and even ulceration - can be observed with the addition of a secondary
    infections. In a similar situation, diffuse-infiltrative gastric cancer for an endoscopist
    becomes difficult to distinguish from superficial forms of gastritis, erosions and ulcers of non-tumor
    etiology. It should not be forgotten that with appropriate treatment of the phenomenon of acute
    inflammation may resolve with continued spread of the tumor to other
    walls, causing a decrease in elasticity and leading to a narrowing of the lumen of the stomach. And even
    the slightest movement of the gastroscope, with minimal air injection, is already beginning
    cause severe pain in the patient. This again speaks of the diagnostic
    the importance of biopsy of the stomach in any acute changes, as well as after them
    cure.

    Gastric cancer and diagnosis

    The main study for gastric cancer is FGDS, which gives
    the possibility of a detailed examination of the mucous membrane of the esophagus,
    duodenum and stomach, and detection of a tumor, determination of its
    borders.
    X-ray of the stomach - effective in infiltrative forms of cancer.
    Allows you to assess the functionality of the body, gives
    the possibility of suspecting gastric cancer or the onset of recurrence of the tumor. Such
    diagnostic method is necessary in order to carry out effective treatment in the future
    stomach cancer.
    Endoscopic ultrasonography - allows you to accurately examine the condition
    all layers of the stomach and in 80-90% of cases accurately determine the depth of the tumor.
    The direction of magnifying endoscopy occupies one of the leading places in
    clarifying diagnosis of gastric pathology, as it allows to identify
    minimal disturbances in the typical architectonics of the mucous membrane and to distinguish between
    areas of intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia or the presence of neoplastic changes.
    Improving endoscopic examination is in the direction of introducing
    narrow-spectrum (NBI-endoscopy). These are high-tech methods that
    allow early detection of gastric cancer, and
    promote identification of the centers of a tumor against hron. stomach diseases.

    Gastric cancer and diagnosis

    Optical coherence tomography - designed to determine the depth
    invasion into the wall of the stomach, esophagus or other hollow organ. This equipment
    a new generation allows you to determine in detail the thickness of the affected tissue,
    it is possible to recognize the germination of the tumor in the submucosal and muscle layers
    stomach. Under the control of optical coherence tomography, tissue sampling is carried out
    lymph nodes in the surrounding area.
    Diagnostic laparoscopy is a surgical procedure that
    performed under intravenous anesthesia by puncture in the abdominal wall
    camera to examine the abdominal organs. This research is applied
    in unclear cases, to detect germination in surrounding organs
    neoplasms, metastases in the peritoneum and for taking a biopsy. This method is sometimes
    essential for effective treatment of gastric cancer.
    Gastric cancer and blood tests for tumor markers - proteins that
    produced by the tumor and not present in the healthy body. With the aim of
    CEA, Ca 19.9 and Ca 72.4 are used for cancer detection. However, they all have
    low diagnostic value. They have found their use in patients for
    metastasis detection.

    Treatment of stomach cancer

    The treatment of cancer is different from the treatment of other organs.
    If with carcinomas in other organs, surgery
    is done only when the usual
    therapy, then the opposite is true for stomach cancer.
    Only surgery can save
    sick. This is explained by the fact that the signs of cancer
    unstable and may not appear for months, eventually
    the patient comes already at the moment when it began
    phase of stenosis and metastasis.

    Treatment Methods

    Chemotherapy, despite its possibilities, rarely
    helps to stop the development of metastases and destroy cancer
    cells in adjacent organs.
    Radiation therapy, which is used for most cancers
    formations, in cases with the stomach is not carried out.
    Medical treatment will no longer bring any
    result, so the only way is the surgical path.
    If the carcinoma is small, then do
    resection of the stomach, removing most of it.
    But in many cases, the stomach has to be removed completely,
    at the same time, all affected lymph nodes are removed. During
    operations, the esophagus is sewn directly to the intestine.

    Surgical treatment of stomach cancer

    In addition to removing the tumor of the stomach, removal of lymph nodes and fatty tissue is performed.
    fiber. Lymph node dissection makes it possible to significantly increase the 5-year
    survival and reduce the number of relapses. All operations are performed
    minimally invasive using laparoscopic techniques. Subtal resection
    is done with a small tumor, which is located at the exit from the stomach, and
    approximately 4/5 of the stomach is removed. The remaining cases are the removal of the stomach and
    all areas in which lymph nodes with metastases are located, while
    the esophagus is sutured to the small intestine.
    Treatment with surgical radical intervention
    subtotal proximal resection of the stomach;
    gastrectomy;
    subtotal distal resection of the stomach.
    Subtotal distal resection
    During this operation, ¾ of the distal stomach with a ligamentous apparatus is removed and
    lymph nodes. The entire lesser curvature is removed.

    Subtotal proximal resection of the stomach
    This operation involves the removal of the entire lesser curvature of the stomach with
    paraesophageal lymph nodes and lesser omentum, as well as
    part of the greater omentum.
    Treatment of gastric cancer with gastrectomy
    With it, the complete removal of the stomach with the ligamentous apparatus is carried out,
    omentums and all areas of metastasis.
    If stomach cancer has spread to neighboring organs, do
    extended combined resections and gastrectomy, and together
    with complete or partial removal of the stomach, a part of the neighboring
    organ.

    Other treatments

    Palliative surgery for gastric cancer
    There are two types of palliative surgery:
    The operation is aimed at improving the general condition and nutrition of the patient, not
    eliminating stomach cancer. Such operations are considered a bypass anastomosis between
    stomach and small intestine - gastroenteroanastomosis, gastro- and jejunostomy.
    With such an operation, the primary focus or cancer metastasis is removed
    stomach. These operations include palliative resections, removal
    metastasis and palliative gastrectomy.
    Gastroenterostomy - treatment of stomach cancer by creating an anastomosis between
    jejunum and stomach.
    Gastrostomy - is the introduction of the probe into the stomach through the abdominal
    wall to feed the patient.
    Enterostomy - performed to create patency of the digestive
    a path if there is no possibility of imposing of a gastromtomy, and also for food
    sick.

    relapse

    Even a complete cure for stomach cancer is not
    always has a positive outlook:
    frequent relapses that are far
    can not always be eliminated by repeated
    operations.

    Rules for the prevention of stomach cancer:

    Identification of precancerous conditions and regular medical examination.
    Diet. Reduce the consumption of fatty, salty, smoked and fried foods, spicy and
    spicy foods, do not abuse alcohol, avoid preservatives and
    dyes.
    Be more attentive to the vegetables you eat, they can potentially
    contain a large amount of nitrates, nitrites, carcinogens.
    Observe the measure in the use of drugs (especially analgesics, antibiotics,
    corticoids).
    Reduce the negative impact of the environment, harmful chemicals
    connections.
    Eat more fresh foods rich in vitamins and
    trace elements, as well as dairy products.
    Follow a normal diet, avoiding too long breaks
    between meals, overeating.
    Do not smoke.
