Effect of gastric signet ring cell cancer on T,N,M stages / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effect of the gastric signet ring cell cancer(SIG)on the T,N,M stages. Methods Three hundred and fifty-one patients undergoing D2 or greater gastrectomy for gastric cancer were ana lyzed retrospectively.The T,N,M stages of 59 patients with SIG and 161 patients with tubular adenocarcmonla (TUB)were compared using univariate and multivariate analysis.Results The chi-square test showed that there were not significant differences in T,N,M stages between TUB and SIG.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that SIG Was not a independent factor influencing the T,N.M stage.Conclusion Gastric cancer with SIG has not higher T,N,M stages than that with TUB.
