| Abstract | ||||
| Background: Gastric cancer is the third most common type of cancer worldwide. Gastric cancer has a 15% to 20% 5-year overall survival rate, even if the disease just affects the stomach wall. The prognosis is favorable if tumors and their precursors are discovered early on. Objective: The current study intended to enhance the prognosis of patients suffering from early-stage stomach cancer. Patients and methods: In this study, 24 patients with stomach cancer who attended to Zagazig University Hospitals' outpatient clinic were included. Every patient underwent a complete medical history, a general examination, and an abdominal examination that included PR and PV. Laboratory tests were performed. Along with gastroscopy and biopsies, all patients also underwent CT, ultrasonography, and CXR scans. Results: There were six women and eighteen men in the study. The distal portion of the stomach was the site of malignancy in all 100 cancer patients under study. A statistically significant correlation was not observed between the sex of the cancer cases under study and either the age distribution or the tumor site. Conclusion: Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy is a safe and effective treatment that offers advantages over open conventional gastrectomy for treating stomach cancer. These advantages include a lower risk of intraoperative blood loss and overall consequences. | ||||
