Quality of Life After Billroth II or Roux-en-Y for Gastric Cancer
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Billroth 2 (B2): B2 technique requires a single anastomosis (gastro-jejunostomy) after distal gastrectomy
Roux-En-Y (REY): REY technique requires 2 anastomoses (gastro-jejunostomy and entero-enterostomy) after distal gastrectomy
Study summary
The treatment of a local distal gastric cancer remains surgical before or after chemotherapy. Partial gastrectomy is recommended for distal location cancer The recommendations for restoring continuity are less evident. There are two main techniques: the Roux-En-Y (REY) requiring 2 anastomoses (gastro-jejunostomy and entero-enterostomy) and the Billroth 2 (B2) with a single anastomosis (gastro-jejunostomy). The choice remains matter of debate.
There was no difference on the global health status score from the QLQ-C30 questionnaire. However, the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was significantly improved only in the REY group between pre- and post-gastrectomy. A significant difference for endoscopic gastritis in favor of the REY group was reported.
The purpose of this study is to determine which surgical technique improve the health related quality of life after distal gastrectomy.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- HRQol with 3 targeted dimensions — One year post-surgery
European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire, OesophagoGastric 25 (EORTC QLQ-OG25) at 1 year post surgery with 3 targeted dimensions : eating, reflux, pain and discomfort. Health-related Quality of life (HRQoL) will be considered as being improved in one arm if at least one of the 3 targeted dimensions is significantly improved without a significantly deterioration for the other 2 targeted dimensions : * Eating restrictions : \[0-100\]. * Reflux : \[0-100\]. * Pain and discomfort : \[0-100\]. If high scores = more problems.
