Abstract:
Extended lymphadenectomy on connection with the surgical treatment of gastric cancer is gaining access in western centres especially since Japanese centres have shown an ever increasing rate of survival over several decades, coupled with the fact that operative procedures have become more sophisticated. The latest prospective studies in the west seem to confirm the value of lymphadenectomy in some patients. Furthermore, correct staging demands extended lymphadenectomy. For patients with gastric cancer, adjuvant preoperative chemotherapy is probably an asset.
