Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate Splenectomy in Total Gastrectomy for Proximal Gastric Carcinoma: JCOG0110


European clinical trials of gastrectomy showed that splenectomy is an important risk factor
for post-operative morbidity and mortality. Retrospective comparisons suggested that
splenectomy is associated with poor long term survival. However, Japanese studies revealed
that 20 - 30 % of patients with non-early carcinoma in the proximal stomach have nodal
metastasis in the splenic hilum and therefore, pancreas-preserving splenectomy is part of
the standard operation in specialized centers where splenectomy is not considered a risk
factor for operative mortality. There have been no prospective randomized trials to evaluate
the survival benefit of splenectomy in total gastrectomy for proximal gastric cancer.

Comparison: Total gastrectomy with pancreas-preserving splenectomy versus total gastrectomy
without splenectomy


Inclusion Criteria:



Preoperatively

- Histologically proven adenocarcinoma

- T2 or deeper lesion in the upper third of the stomach without involvement of the
greater curvature or esophageal invasion, irrespective of the primary tumor location
or existence of multiple foci

- No distant metastasis, not linitis plastica ('Borrmann 4'), not stump carcinoma, no
prior treatment for 364 Randomized trial for splenectomy gastric cancer

- Sufficient organ function

Intra-operatively

- T2/T3/T4 and N0/N1/N2, no tumor on the greater curvature, no direct invasion of the
pancreas or spleen, negative peritoneal lavage cytology

- No apparent nodal metastasis in the splenic hilum or along the splenic artery
