Management Of Synchronous Krukenberg Tumors From Gastric Cancer: a Single-center Experience

Conclusion: Metastasectomy combined with chemotherapy showed an association with survival benefit in patients with synchronous Krukenberg tumors from gastric cancer. Metastasectomy, expression of ER-β and PR, peritoneal carcinomatosis, and signet ring cells were independent predictors of survival. Further prospective studies are warranted.
