Tedavisiz üç yıllık takiplerinde belirgin progresyon göstermeyen taşlı yüzük hücreli mide kanseri olgusu

Mide kanseri, dünyada mortaliteye neden olan en sık ikinci kanserdir. Taşlı yüzük hücreli mide kanserinin genel olarak kötü prognoza sahip olduğu bildirilmektedir. Bu vaka sunumunda 3 yıllık takibe rağmen çok hızlı progresyon göstermeyen taşlı yüzük hücreli mide kanseri sunulmuştur. Hastanın cerrahi tedaviyi kabul etmemesi nedeniyle üç yıl süreyle takip edilmesi mümkün olmuştur. Bu olguda radyolojik ve endoskopik incelemelerde üç yıllık takibe reğmen yayılım veya tümör çapında belirgin artış saptanmamıştır.

A case of signet ring cell gastric cancer showing no progression without treatment for a period of three years

Gastric cancer is the second most common cause of mortality after lung cancer worldwide. Gastric cancer with the histological diagnosis of signet ring cell carcinoma is generally considered to have a poor prognosis. We present a patient diagnosed with early-stage signet ring cell gastric carcinoma three years ago who refused surgical treatment. The disease showed no marked progression endoscopically or radiologically during the follow-up period of three years. Histopathological diagnosis of signet ring cell gastric carcinoma should not be considered as an absolute indicator of poor prognosis.
