Abstract:
Radical dissection for gastric cancer is not widely practiced in the West. This paper reviews the evidence in support of lymphadenectomy and the techniques of radical resection as practiced by Japanese surgeons. We believe the published results support increased use of radical surgery in the treatment of gastric cancer and would recommend further adoption of this technique as there is minimal associated morbidity.
