Omentectomy for Metabolic Syndrome in Gastric Cancer Patients

May 31, 2017 updated by: Seung Wan Ryu, Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center

The Effect of Visceral Fat Removal for Gastric Cancer Patients With Metabolic Syndrome, Randomized Pilot Study: Omentectomy for Metabolic Syndrome (OMS)

Many features of the metabolic syndrome are associated with insulin resistance. And, metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance are related to visceral obesity. Therefore, the investigators hypothesized that visceral fat removal (omentectomy) can make favorable results for the insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. As the omentectomy is optional procedure during a surgery for early gastric cancer, the investigators will divide patients randomly into two groups, total omentectomy group and omentum preserving group.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The investigators will compare the change of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and improvement of metabolic syndrome between total omentectomy and omentum preserving group.
