Laparoscopic lymphadenectomy can be a safe alternative to gastrectomy for elderly patients with gastric cancer recurrence. This minimally invasive approach avoids major surgery while effectively managing lymph node metastasis.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Oncology
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
Background:
- Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a curative treatment for early gastric cancer.
- Lymph node recurrence can occur after ESD, necessitating further treatment.
- Gastric cancer patients, especially the elderly, may have comorbidities or anxiety regarding extensive surgery like gastrectomy.

Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...
