Abstract EN
Gastric cancer is the third most common cause of death in men and the fifth common cause of death in women worldwide.
Currently, available advanced imaging modalities can predict R0 resection in most patients in the perioperative period.
The aim of this study is to determine the role of serum CK18, MMP-9, and TIMP1 levels in predicting R0 resection in patients with gastric cancer.
Fifty consecutive patients scheduled for curative surgery with gastric adenocancer diagnosis between 2013 and 2015 were included in the study.
One milliliter of blood was taken from the patients included in the study to examine CK18, MMP-9, and TIMP1.
CK18, MMP-9, and TIMP1 levels were positively correlated with pathological N and the stage (P<0.05).
The CK18, MMP-9, and TIMP1 averages of those with positive clinical lymph nodes and those in clinical stage 3 were found to be higher than the averages of those with negative clinical lymph nodes and those in clinical stage 2 (P<0.05).
Although serum CK18, MMP-9, and TIMP1 preop measurements in patients scheduled for curative surgery due to gastric adenocarcinoma did not help to gain any idea of tumor resectability, we concluded that our study had valuable results in significantly predicting N3 stage.
