BACKGROUND: It is important to evaluate the curability of and avoid unnecessary exploratory surgery for @entity356 preoperatively. However, no related research has been reported until now. The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors influencing surgery for incurable @entity356 . METHODS: 310 cases of T3-4 @entity356 @entity1 were analyzed retrospectively, including 141 cases with radical surgery and 169 with surgery for incurable @entity356 . The incurable factors were categorized as T status (unresectable T4 @entity5 ), N status (unresectable lymph node), peritoneal @entity3 , and distant @entity3 .    (2) test and logistic regression were performed to analyze the associations between curability, T status, N status, peritoneal @entity3 , or distant @entity3 and clinicopathological data. RESULTS: Esophageal involvement and T grade were associated with curability. Cardia involvement and Borrmann type were associated with T status. Esophageal involvement and T grade were associated with N status. Gastric body involvement, esophageal involvement, and T grade were associated with peritoneal @entity3 . Gastric antrum involvement was associated with distant @entity3 . CONCLUSIONS: The influencing factors of surgery for incurable @entity356 should be analyzed preoperatively. Resectability should be evaluated according to these influencing factors combined with imaging analysis.
