Abstract

Gastric cancer with gastric outlet obstruction has a high incidence of direct invasion into neighboring organs, with a low resection rate and a poor prognosis. Traditionally, open gastrojejunostomy has been the standard palliative treatment in these patients. Recently, endoscopic self-expanding metal stents have been used increasingly for the palliative treatment of malignant gastric outlet obstruction, but the choice of modality to treat the obstruction caused by gastric cancer is still controversial. Many studies have shown that endoscopic stenting is less invasive and offers not only a shorter time to oral intake and length of hospital stay, but also less frequent complications compared to open gastrojejunostomy. However, recurrent obstruction by tumor overgrowth and ingrowth occur more frequently and re-intervention for recurrent obstructive symptoms are more frequently performed after stent placement than after gastrojejunostomy. Thus, stent placement may be associated with more favorable results in patients with a relatively short life expectancy, while gastrojejunostomy is preferable in patients with a more prolonged prognosis. Also, open surgery affords a greater chance for curative surgery. However, most underlying diseases analyzed in previous studies were pancreaticobiliary malignancies, and there have been few prospective studies specific for patients with gastric cancer. Additional randomized controlled trials with larger sample sizes are expected to decide the treatment modality for unresectable gastric cancer with gastric outlet obstruction.

악성 위배출구 폐색을 동반한 위암의 경우 주위 장기 침습이 종종 관찰되며 수술적 절제가 불가능한 경우가 많다. 이런 경우 일차적으로 외과적 우회술을 시행하여 폐색을 해결하고 경구 섭취가 가능하게 하는 고식적인 치료를 시행해왔다. 최근 여러 스텐트의 개발은 절제 불가능한 위배출구 환자의 치료에 효과적으로 사용되고 있으나 이런 환자들의 고식적인 치료 방법의 결정에는 아직 논란의 여지가 있다. 스텐트 시술은 비교적 간단하고, 빠른 음식물 섭취 회복, 짧은 재원 기간, 합병증이 적다는 장점이 있다. 반면 외과적 우회술과 비교해 음식물과 암종의 과도한 성장에 의한 재폐색이 잦아 재수술이 필요한 경우가 많아 기대 생존 기간이 짧은 경우 유용하며, 수술적 우회술은 장기적인 결과가 좋아 기대 수명이 긴 경우 유용하다. 또한 아직까지 술 전 정확한 절제 가능성을 판단할 수 없기 때문에 수술적 치료는 근치적 절제의 기회가 주어지는 장점이 있다. 그러나 이전 보고들의 대상이 대부분 췌십이지장 암이며, 또한 전향적 무작위 대조군 연구가 거의 없어 위배출구 폐색을 동반한 위암 환자에서 치료방법의 결정을 위해서는 향후 위암 환자만을 대상으로 한 개복, 복강경, 그리고 스텐트 시술을 비교한 대규모 무작위 대조군연구가 필요하겠다.
