Treatment patterns for all patients. Stage at diagnosis was stage IB in 3 patients, stage II in 6 patients, stage III in 7 patients, and stage IV in 10 patients. Nine patients, including three patients with stage Ib, three patients with stage II, one patient with stage III, and 2 patients with stage IV, were cured. Two patients expired due to post-operative complications. Of 10 patients who initially had stage IV, 6 patients underwent gastrectomy and 6 patients received palliative chemotherapy. Two of three stage IV patients who underwent gastrectomy with R0 resection were followed up with no evidence of disease. Seven patients of 16 patients with initial stage I-III relapsed and six patients received palliative chemotherapy.
