Clinical features suggestive of in-operability
• Abdominal mass
• Fecal emesis – Gastrocolic fistula
• Sister Mary Joseph’s node
• Virchow’s node
• Blumer’s shelf
• Palpable liver
• Ascites
Does laboratory parameters help ?
• CEA
• CA 19-9
• CA 72-4 NO
• pepsinogen II to
pepsinogen I ratio
NCCN 2012
Gastric outlet obstruction
• Treatment options:
Surgical resection
Surgical bypass
Stenting
Palliative gastrostomy with feeding
jejunostomy
Self expanding metal stent (SEMS)
SEMS ( self expanding metallic stens)
• Metallic alloy design
SEMS :
Effect for a shorter duration
Stent gets easily blocked
Repeated attempts required
ASGE 2011
SEMS
• Contraindications:
Perforated tumor
Poor GC
• Complications:
Perforation
Bleeding
Migration
Food impaction
ASGE 2011
Bleeding gastric cancer
• Gastrectomy
• Palliative radiotherapy
Palliative radiotherapy
• Upto 20 fractions can be used
• Tey et al :
Pall RT +/- Pall CT
8-40 Gy
RT alone is enough
Survival advantage of 145 days
55% responded to bleeding in 140days
25% responded to obstructive symptoms 102 days
25% responded to pain
Option Additional
Bleeding Localized Radical Adjuvant chemotherapy
disease gastrectomy +
D2
Metastatic Haemostatic Palliative chemotherapy (if
disease external beam patients functional status
radiotherapy permits)
Option Additional
Perforation Localised disease Radical gastrectomy CT
stable + D2 palliative
resection with
negative margins
Second stage –
attempt at
palliative resection
Option Additional
Perforation Metastatic disease Interventional
Good functional radiology – insertion
status of drains Palliative
chemotherapy (if
patients PS permits)
Poor functional
status Best supportive care
Option Additional
Gastric outlet Localised disease Nutritional build up Adjuvant
obstruction Endoscopic NJT via NJT + chemotherapy
insertion (feasible) Neoadjuvant
+ nasogastric tube – chemotherapy
Partial gastric outlet followed by radical
obstruction gastrectomy + D2
lymphadenectomy
Endoscopic NJT
insertion (not Upfront radical Adjuvant
feasible) – complete gastrectomy + D2 chemotherapy ±
gastric outlet lymphadenectomy radiotherapy (if
obstruction indicated)
