TThe 5-year survival rate for curative surgical resection ranges from:

  • 30-50% for patients with stage II disease
  • from 10-25% for patients with stage III disease
  • for all cases referred, the overall 5-year survival is approximately 20%
  • 44% of men survive stomach cancer for at least one year, and this is predicted to fall to 20% surviving for five years or more
  • survival for women is slightly lower at one year but similar at five years, with 38% surviving for one year or more, and 18% predicted to survive for at least five years.

 

Early gastric cancer (EGC) has been defined as a gastric carcinoma confined to the mucosa and/or submucosa, regardless of the size or presence of lymph node metastasis

  • EGCs have a low incidence of lymph node metastasis and a favorable outcome after surgery
  • patients with EGC generally have an excellent prognosis after curative resection (R0), with 5- and 10-year survival rates of more than 90% and 85-90%, respectively
