A clinical and long-term follow-up study of perioperative sequential triple therapy for gastric cancer

Table 1 The TNM staging of STTS group and simple operation group

Stage		STTS group (n)	%	Simple operation group (n)	%
I	Ia	2	2.4	2	3.8
	Ib	6	7.4	4	7.5
II		15	18.5	11	20.7
III	IIIa	21	25.9	12	22.6
	IIIb	25	30.9	15	28.3
IV		12	14.0	9	17.0
Total		81		53

Table 2 Comparison of survival rate and curative survival rate between STTS group and simple operation group

Group	Survival rate (%)					Curative survival rate (%)

STTS	81	92.9c	68.1a	68.11	62.5c	71	98.0c	79.2a	79.2c	72.6a

Table 3 Comparison of main recurrence and metastasis rate between STTS group and simple operation group

Recurrence (n)	Group (n)	n	Rate (%)	P value
Peritoneal (n = 25)	STTS (n = 81)	7	8.6 (7/81)	χ² = 13.53
	Simple operation (n = 53)	18	33.9 (18/51)	P ＜ 0.005
Hepatic (n = 10)	STTS (n = 81)	2	2.4 (2/81)	χ² = 7.39
