| Popis: | Aim Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. In Turkey, stomach cancer is ranked 5th among men and 8th among women in all cancers and is located in the forefront in cancer-related deaths. Signet ring cell adenocarcinoma, which is the histopathological subtype of gastric cancer, has a poor prognosis. The incidence of signet ring cell adenocarcinoma is rising. In the present study, we aimed to describe the clinicopathologic features of signet ring cell adenocarcinoma. Materials and Methods A total of 79 patients with 30 being female (38%) and 49 male (62%) who were diagnosed with gastric signet ring cell adenocarcinoma in the Medical Oncology Department of Ankara Numune Training and Research Hospital between January 2004 and October 2015 were retrospectively evaluated. Results The baseline demographic characteristics of the patients, such as tumor localization, tumor stage, preoperative serum tumor markers, and treatment type (surgery and chemotherapy regimen), and the effects of these variables on survival and mortality were evaluated. Total surgery, stage III disease, moderate to poor grade, preoperative serum CA 19-9 and CEA levels were found as independent predictors of progression risk (p < 0.05). Each 1 ng/mL increase in preoperative serum CEA level was found to increase the risk of progression by 1.20 folds. Again, each 1 U/mL in preoperative serum CA 19-9 level was found to increase the risk of progression and mortality by 1.06 folds. Conclusion The clinicopathologic features of signet ring cell stomach cancer were described. Tumor localization and disease, CA 19-9 and CEA levels, and treatment type (surgery and chemotherapy regimen) were effective on survival and mortality. However, further studies with larger patient groups are needed on this issue. How to cite this article Altay SB, Akkurt G, Yılmaz N, et al.
