Abstract

The findings of the present study suggests that metastases to the adjacent peritoneum or group 3 nodes have a greater chance of being cured using radical surgery, and that gastrectomy with extended lymphadenectomy (D2-D3) may be used for advanced gastric cancer if there is no gross evidence of metastasis to the distant peritoneum, liver or group 4 nodes.
