Abstract
Aim: To predict the occurrence of bone metastases and prognosis among patients with gastric cancer on a population level. Materials & methods: Data were obtained from the SEER database (2010-2016). Multivariable logistic regression and multivariable Cox regression were used to determine factors that predict the occurrence of bone metastasis and prognosis. Results: Cardia cancer, younger age, white race, poor differentiation grade, higher N stage, diffuse-type were positively associated with the presence of bone metastasis. For gastric cancer patients with bone metastasis, the median survival time was longer (9.0 months) among patients with surgery of primary site compared with those without surgery (3.0 months). Conclusion: According to the results of risk assessment, clinical efforts should be targeted to focus on screening high-risk patients.
