Summary

The German Gastric Cancer TNM Study included 1335 patients, of whom 657 (49.2%) underwent palliative surgery. The rate of resection was 50.6%. Postoperative complications occurred twice as often after palliative resectional surgery than after non-resectional procedures. In contrast, operative mortality rates did not differ. The median time of survival was 3 months after nonresectional procedures and 11 months after palliative resections. A considerable restriction of the quality of life occurred 2–3 months before death in both patient groups. Therefore, patients with nonresectional surgery hardly profit from the operation.

Zusammenfassung

Von 1335 Patienten in der Deutschen Magenkarzinom TNM-Studie wurden 657 (49,2%) palliativ operiert. Die Resektionsrate betrug 50,6%. Die Komplikationsrate nach palliativen Resektionen war doppelt so hoch wie nach nichtresezierenden Verfahren. Die Letalitätsraten unterschieden sich dagegen nicht. Die mediane Überlebenszeit betrug nach nichtresezierenden Verfahren 3 Monate und nach palliativen Resektionen 11 Monate. Eine erhebliche Einschränkung der Lebensqualität setzte in beiden Patientengruppen 2–3 Monate vor dem Tod ein, so daß die nichtresezierten Patienten kaum von der Operation profitierten.
