Patient survival after D-1 and D-2 resections for gastric cancer: long-term results of the MRC randomized surgical trial

TL;DR: The findings indicate that the classical Japanese D2 resection offers no survival advantage over D1 surgery, however, the possibility that D 2 resection without pancreatico-splenectomy may be better than standard D1 resection cannot be dismissed by the results of this trial.

Lymph node metastases of gastric cancer. General pattern in 1931 patients.

TL;DR: The incidence of metastases from gastric adenocarcinoma to various regional lymph node stations was studied after meticulous node dissection and correlated to survival in 1931 resected patients, favors a so-called R2 or more extensive resection for cancers invading beyond the submucosa.

Prognostic relevance of systematic lymph node dissection in gastric carcinoma

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

Evaluation of extensive lymph node dissection for carcinoma of the stomach.

TL;DR: The incidence of metastasis to the secondary lymph nodes, removable only by ELD, was higher in cases with carcinomatous invasion of the deeper layers of the gastric wall, and this may have been the reason why ELD proved to be more effective than SR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improving survival in gastric cancer: Review of 5‐year survival rates in English language publications from 1970

TL;DR: Comparison of Japanese series with others suggests that diagnosis and treatment of the disease at an earlier stage will result in an even greater increase in 5‐year survival rates outside Japan.
