Postoperative Impact of Anti‐Inflammatory Drug on Cancer Recurrence in Patients With Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer After Curative Gastrectomy: A Pilot Retrospective Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Anti‐inflammatory drugs may be effective in improving recurrence‐free survival after radical gastrectomy in patients with pStage II or III gastric cancer. ABSTRACT Background Elevated postoperative inflammation is associated with reduced recurrence‐free survival (RFS) after gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer, independent of postoperative ...
