Purpose: To investigate the significance of palliative gastrectomy for different types of metastatic gastric cancer patients displaying peritoneal dissemination, hepatic metastasis, distant lymph node metastasis occurring locally during late-stage disease, and multi-organ metastases.Methods: We performed a retrospective study of 862 patients who were histologically diagnosed as late-stage gastric cancer who could not undergo radical surgery at the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center between January 1993 and December 2008. The follow-up lasted until December 2010. Chi-square tests and KaplanMeier methods were employed to compare the adverse events and prognoses.Results: In the peritoneal dissemination and multi-organ metastases groups, palliative gastrectomy has no survival benefit (P?=?0.705, 0.331, respectively). In the patients with distant lymph-node metastases, liver metastasis and locally late-stage gastric cancer patients, palliative gastrectomy was a prognostic factor (P?
