Surgery is the most widely utilizedtreatment for resectable gastric cancer. Evidence indicates thatlymph node involvement and depth of invasion of the primarytumor are the most important prognostic factors for gastriccancer patients. Therefore, lymph node clearance is deemed akey procedure in gastric cancer surgery for the prognostic valueto patients. Although the appropriate lymphadenectomy duringgastrectomy for cancer still remains controversial, extendedlymph node dissection (D2 lymphadenectomy) should berecommended in high volume hospitals.展开更多
