Correlation between staging and desiccation in stomach neoplasm
Keywords:
stomach neoplasms, neoplasm stagingAbstract
Since January 1994 until December 1996, 53 patients with stomach neoplasm were studied. The exams used to staging (alkaline phosphatase, gamma glutamyl transferase, thorax X-ray and abdominal US), the results and the surgical findings concerning desiccation and undesiccation were analyzed. It was observed that staging was normal in 23 patients and was altered in 30 patients, but in the patients with normal staging 35% were undesiccated and in the patients with altered staging only 20%) were undesiccated. It was concluded that the false negative index of this study is similar to the ones of the literature, but the false positive index is very high. It is necessary to add CT and diagnostic laparoscopy to the exams to improve staging.
