Systematically Prognostic Analyses of Gastric Cancer Patients with Ovarian Metastasis

Abstract

Ovarian metastasis of gastric cancer indicates that the disease has reached the late stage and the opportunity for radical surgery is restricted. However, the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with gastric cancer ovarian metastasis (GCOM) remain to be illustrated. Here, we retrieved the information of 780 GCOM cases from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEERs) database and analyzed their clinicopathological characteristics as well as their survival. According to our data, most GCOM patients showed poor pathological differentiation, advanced T and N stages. The prognostic factors include patients' age, tumor size, surgical resection, and chemotherapy treatment. Of note, the marriage status was also identified as an independent prognostic factor. Besides the identification of prognostic factors, we established nomograms to help predict the overall survival and cancer-specific survival of GCOM, respectively.
