Surgical Compliance and Outcomes in Gastric Cancer: a population-based cohort study

Conclusion: GC patients of poor surgical compliance demonstrated adverse survival, which was comparable to that of non-surgical patients. The poor surgical compliance was associated with older age, American Indian/Alaska Native race, poor tissue differentiation/advanced stage of tumor, single/widowed status, lower socioeconomic status and earlier time of diagnosis.
