<h3>Importance</h3> Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy is gaining popularity over open for gastric cancer because of better early postoperative outcomes. However, to our knowledge, no studies have proved whether laparoscopic oncologically equivalent gastrectomy. <h3>Objective</h3> To examine the long-term survival among patients with stage I undergoing noninferior that <h3>Design</h3> The Korean Laparoendoscopic Gastrointestinal Surgery Study (KLASS) group, which includes 15 surgeons from 13...
PURPOSE Adjuvant chemotherapy after D2 gastrectomy is standard for resectable locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC) in Asia. Based on positive findings perioperative European phase III studies, the PRODIGY study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01515748 ) investigated whether neoadjuvant docetaxel, oxaliplatin, and S-1 (DOS) followed by surgery adjuvant could improve outcomes versus treatment Korean patients with LAGC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients 20-75 years of age, Eastern Cooperative...
<h3>Importance</h3> Fluorescent imaging with indocyanine green can be used to visualize lymphatics. Peritumoral injection of may allow for visualization every draining lymph node from a primary lesion on near-infrared imaging. <h3>Objectives</h3> To evaluate the role fluorescent lymphography using as an intraoperative tool achieving complete dissection and compare number nodes retrieved use without <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This prospective single-arm study was conducted among...
The seventh edition of the tumor, lymph node (LN), metastasis (TNM) staging system increased required number examined LNs in gastric cancer from 15 to 16. However, same defines node-negative regardless LNs. In this study, authors evaluated whether can be staged properly with fewer than LNs.The survival rates 10,010 patients who underwent curative gastrectomy 1987 2007 were analyzed. divided into 2 groups according LNs, termed "insufficient" group (≤15 LNs) and "sufficient" (≥16 LNs). curves...
With advances in gastric cancer chemotherapy, conversion surgery has drawn attention as a new strategy to improve the outcome of stage IV disease. We investigated efficacy following chemotherapy for patients with cancer. retrospectively reviewed clinico-pathologic variables and oncologic outcomes 101 who were treated systemic followed by gastrectomy intension curative resection from January 2005 December 2012. In terms best response palliative complete or partial observed 65 (64.4%) overall....
Anemia after gastrectomy is commonly neglected by clinicians despite being an important and frequent long-term metabolic sequela. We hypothesized that the incidence timing of occurrence iron deficiency closely associated with extent reconstruction method, we investigated treatment outcomes supplementation to understand metabolism determine optimal method gastrectomy.Using a prospective gastric cancer database, identified 381 patients early complete hematologic parameters who underwent...

The incidence of gallstones has been reported to increase after gastrectomy. However, few studies have conducted on the prevention gallstone formation in patients who undergone gastrectomy.To evaluate efficacy and safety ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) preventing gastrectomy with gastric cancer.The PEGASUS-D study (Efficacy Safety DWJ1319 Prevention Gallstone Formation Gastrectomy Patient Gastric Cancer: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study) was a randomized,...
The impact of postoperative complications on the prognosis gastric cancer remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate relationship between and long-term survival in patients undergoing gastrectomy for stage II/III cancer.
The prognoses of gastric cancer patients vary greatly among countries. Meanwhile, tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging system shows limited accuracy in predicting patient-specific survival for cancer. objective this study was to create a simple, yet universally applicable prediction model surgically treated patients.A 5-year overall regardless curability developed using test data set 11,851 consecutive patients.The model's coefficients were selected based on univariate and multivariate...
Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence lymphography can be used to visualize the lymphatic drainage of gastric cancer. Few studies have been performed identify patterns after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). ESD results in changes lymphatics owing fibrosis layer. This study aimed evaluate efficacy ICG for visualization ESD, and assess its clinical application additional gastrectomy early cancer.All patients who underwent between 2014 2017 a single centre were reviewed. was injected...
