Abstract
Objective: Describe the relationship between staging, treatment and survival of patients with gastric cancer undergoing surgical treatment. Methods: Retrospective, quantitative study, carried out in a highly complex oncology center in the northern region of Brazil. The analysis took place using descriptive statistics using the Kaplan-Meier method, Chi-square and Log-rank. 135 medical records were analyzed in the period from January 2008 to January 2015. Results: They presented more frequently in Stage IV (37,0%); Total Gastrectomy (51,1%) was the most performed among the studied patients followed by Subtotal Gastrectomy (23,7%), in relation to adjuvant treatment, most patients did not perform it (74,8%); As for the overall survival of the patient who underwent surgery for gastric cancer, it was 36,8% in five years. Regarding survival and treatment, there was no statistically significant evidence. On the other hand, survival and staging had strong statistical evidence. Conclusion: Gastric cancer is being detected late, causing a series of problems for the patient, his family and society. Therefore, it is important to reflect on the characterization of treatment and staging and the relationship of these variables with the survival of this patient, in order to expand the scientific evidence and provide subsidies that guide public policies.
