Does abdominal shape of gastric cancer patients influence short-term surgical outcomes?
We conclude that obesity and abdominal shape of gastric cancer patients both influence the short-term surgical outcomes of subtotal gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection.
Each of these strategies is proven to be effective, yet all are substantially underutilized. Each is used in some jurisdictions in the United States or Canada, but none is used extensively. Any one of the 3 strategies implemented on a widespread basis would decrease impaired driving crashes, injuries, and fatalities. Based on the research, all 3 together would have a substantial impact on the problem.
