GASTRIC CANCER, RECURRENCE, COMPLICATIONS
Gastric cancer (GC) accounts for approximately 8% of cancer-related deaths worldwideNonetheless, lymphadenectomy is often merely performed based on the surgeon’s preference and experience. However, owing to the complex vascular anatomy and lymphatic drainage around the stomach, efficient and accurate dissection of LNs without increasing surgery-related complications remains a substantial challenge for surgeons, especially junior trained ones. Recently, with the successful application of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging technology in minimally invasive surgeryRetrospective studiesIn this work, we present the subsequent follow-up results of FUGES-012, wherein the long-term oncologic outcomes of 3-year overall survival (OS), 3-year disease-free survival (DFS), and recurrence patterns are reported.
