Complete tumor removal with margins of clearance at the resection lines must be the aim of today's surgical treatment of gastric cancer, and this must be applied even in lymph node dissection. But, over the last few decades, the extent and impact of lymphadenectomy remains controversial. Whereas Jap

To evaluate the effectiveness of extended lymph node dissection in gastric cancer, the relationship between the number of lymph nodes with metastasis and the long-term outcome was studied retrospectively in 761 patients who underwent curative resection with extensive lymph node dissection. The cumul
Among 753 autopsy prostatic cancer cases with a metastasis, 476 (63%) had a lymph node metastasis, whereas 277 (37%) did not. Two different lymph node metastatic patterns were observed: Type 1, combined metastasis involving the pelvic and paraaortic lymph nodes; and Type 2, metastasis to the paraaor
## Background: Since the majority of patients with early gastric cancer show long-term survival after surgery, a special attention must be directed to preserving gastric function in these patients. little is known about the protocol of surgical treatment appropriate for early gastric cancer patient
