Journal ArticleDOI
Relevant prognostic factors in gastric cancer: ten-year results of the German Gastric Cancer Study.
TL;DR: Lymph node ratio and lymph node status are the most important prognostic factors in patients with resected Gastric cancer and in experienced centers, extended lymph node dissection does not increase the mortality or morbidity rate of resection for gastric cancer but markedly improves long-term survival in patientsWith stage II tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Histomorphology and grading of regression in gastric carcinoma treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Karen Becker,James Mueller,Christoph Schulmacher,Katja Ott,Ulrich Fink,Raymonde Busch,K. Böttcher,J. Rüdiger Siewert,Heinz Höfler +8 more
TL;DR: The authors performed the current study to determine which histomorphologic features are correlated with patient prognosis after chemotherapy, and which are not.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prognostic relevance of systematic lymph node dissection in gastric carcinoma. German Gastric Carcinoma Study Group.
TL;DR: Radical lymphadenectomy improves survival in patients with UICC gastric cancer stages II and IIIA, and should be the recommended treatment for such patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prognostic factors in gastric carcinoma. Results of the German gastric carcinoma study 1992
TL;DR: The impact of patient‐ and tumor‐dependent factors and the postoperative course on the prognosis of patients who underwent resection for gastric carcinoma between 1986 and 1989 were analyzed in a prospective multicenter observation study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benefits of D2 lymph node dissection for patients with gastric cancer and pN0 and pN1 lymph node metastases
J. R. Siewert,R. Kestlmeier,Raymonde Busch,K. Böttcher,J. D. Roder,J Müller,C. Fellbaum,Heinz Höfler +7 more
TL;DR: The frequent occurrence of micro-involvement is a strong argument favouring routine D2 lymph node dissection in gastric cancer surgery in patients with lymph node metastasis.
