Lymph node dissection in gastric cancer surgery may improve staging accuracy. However, the extent of dissection did not impact postoperative survival in this study.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Gastric cancer treatment often involves gastrectomy and lymph node dissection.
  • Accurate staging of lymph node involvement is crucial for treatment planning and prognosis.
  • The extent of lymph node dissection and its impact on survival and staging accuracy require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the relationship between the extent of lymph node dissection and postoperative mortality in gastric cancer patients.
  • To assess the impact of dissection extent on the proportion and number of metastatic lymph nodes.
  • To determine the accuracy of macroscopic versus microscopic evaluation of lymph node involvement.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 300 patients undergoing curative gastrectomy and lymph node dissection for gastric cancer.

  • Analysis of postoperative mortality, node involvement rates, and metastatic node counts based on dissection extent.
  • Comparison of macroscopic and microscopic lymph node staging accuracy.

    • Main Results:

    • Increased lymph node dissection led to a higher proportion of patients with node involvement and more metastatic nodes identified.
    • Lymph node dissection extent did not significantly affect postoperative survival within R0 and R3 resection margins.
    • Macroscopic evaluation of lymph node involvement resulted in incorrect N staging for 9.5% of N0 and 20.2% of N1 cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Lymph node dissection appears beneficial for staging in gastric cancer treatment.
    • The extent of lymph node dissection, within the studied range, does not adversely affect postoperative mortality.
    • Microscopic evaluation is superior to macroscopic assessment for accurate lymph node staging in gastric cancer.
