Article Synopsis
- Lymph node metastasis can occur in early gastric cancer, even in nodes not near the primary tumor, necessitating careful selection between total gastrectomy (TG) and subtotal gastrectomy (sTG) based on cancer spread.
- A study of 98 patients revealed that 65.3% had metastatic lymph nodes, with higher rates of metastasis increasing with tumor invasion depth, especially in adjacent lymph node stations.
- Results showed that while TG had higher total lymph nodes and positive lymph node rates, the ratio of metastatic lymph nodes was similar between TG and sTG, suggesting that sTG with proper lymphadenectomy is a viable treatment option for certain early-stage gastric cancers.
