Outcomes
LYMPH NODE METASTASES, GASTRIC CANCER
The primary outcome of this retrospective analysis was 3-year survival following OTG and MITG with modified D2 lymphadenectomy, in patients with gastric cancer, following chemotherapy. Furthermore, patterns in resected lymph node stations, the number of lymph nodes per lymph node station, and distribution pattern for lymph node metastases were assessed between OTG and MITG.
