Abstract:

AIM: To analyze the relationship between coagulation parameters and clinic pathological features of gastric cancer patients, and observe the effect of anticoagulant therapy on hypercoagulable state, tumor metastasis/recurrence, survival status and safety evaluation of gastric cancer. METHODS: 140 patients with gastric cancer were selected to analyze the relationship between coagulation parameters and clinic pathological features. 172 patients with stage III gastric cancer were enrolled, including 116 patients in the treatment group (prophylactic anticoagulant therapy combined with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy) and 56 patients in the control group (postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy). The anticoagulant therapy was observed on hypercoagulable state and tumor metastasis/recurrence, impact of survival and safety assessment. RESULTS:D-dimer of lymph node metastasis N1-3 group was higher than N0 group (P<0.05), stage III and IV were higher than stage I and II of FIB, D-dimer, and APTT value was decreased (P<0.05). Before and after anticoagulant therapy in the treatment group, PT and APTT were prolonged, D-dimer and FIB were decreased (P<0.05). The rate of lymph node and liver metastasis in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group in 12, 24 and 36 months (P<0.05). The 2-year and 3-year survival rates of the treatment group were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05), and the median survival and disease-free survival were longer than the control group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of gingival bleeding, thrombocytopenia, and ecchymosis of the skin between the two groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION:The factors influencing the hypercoagulable state of gastric cancer are lymph node metastasis and TNM staging. Anticoagulant therapy can improve hypercoagulability, reduce the rate of lymph node and liver metastasis, and prolong survival without increasing the incidence of adverse reactions.
