The risk of osteoporotic fracture in gastric cancer survivors: total gastrectomy versus subtotal gastrectomy versus endoscopic treatment

ConclusionGastric cancer survivors who underwent TG had an increased osteoporotic fracture risk than did SG or ESD/EMR in these patients. The amount of gastric resection and accompanying metabolic changes seemed to mediate such risk. Additional research is needed to establish an optimal strategy for each type of surgery.
