The authors focused on the current surgical treatment of resectable gastric cancer, and
significance of peri-and post-operative chemo or chemoradiation. Gastric cancer is the 4 th …

Gastric cancer, one of the most common malignancies in the world, frequently reveals lymph

Background Prognosis of potentially curable (M0), completely resected gastric cancer is
primarily determined by pathologic T and N staging criteria. The optimal regional dissection …

Background Advanced, but potentially still curable gastric cancer (stages IIIA, IIIB, or stage IV
M0) is associated with very high recurrence rates after gastrectomy. The value of an …

Objectives: The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system for gastric
cancer bases N status on absolute number of metastatic nodes, regardless of the number of …

BACKGROUND: Log odds of positive lymph nodes (LODDS) is defined as the log of the ratio

Background: In Japan, the standard treatment policy for all potentially curable patients with
gastric cancer is radical resection including extensive lymphadenectomy. This treatment …
