Proximal gastrectomy with tubular stomach reconstruction <i>vs</i> total gastrectomy for proximal gastric cancer following neoadjuvant chemotherapy: A multicenter retrospective study
PG with tubular stomach reconstruction is comparable to TG in terms of surgical safety and long-term oncological outcomes for proximal GC patients following NACT. Additionally, PG has the advantages of shorter operation time and lower rates of postoperative reflux, suggesting potential benefits for patient quality of life. Notably, the analysis of postoperative prognostic factors, including histological differentiation and tumor size, further informs clinical decision-making and highlights the importance of individualized treatment strategies.
