Overview
If left untreated, patients with linitis plastica may progress to develop symptoms from decreased peristalsis of the stomach that may include dyspepsia, dysphagia, nausea, vomiting, increased satiety, and regurgitation.[1][2] Depending upon the stage of linitis plastica at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. The presence of metastasis is associated with a particularly poor prognosis among patients with linitis plastica. Linitis plastica is associated with a 5-year survival rate of approximately 10-20% in Japan.[2]
Natural history
Patients are usually asymptomatic in the initial stages of the disease. If left untreated, patients with linitis plastica may progress to develop symptoms from decreased peristalsis of the stomach and may include dyspepsia, dysphagia, nausea, vomiting, increased satiety, and regurgitation.[1][2]
Complications
Prognosis
Depending on the stage of linitis plastica at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. The presence of metastasis is associated with a particularly poor prognosis among patients with linitis plastica because of the rapid peritoneal and lymphatic spread of the disease. Linitis plastica is associated with a 5-year survival rate of approximately 10-20% in Japan.[2]
