Comparison of the Prognosis of Upper-Third Gastric Cancer With That of Middle and Lower-Third Gastric Cancer

The upper third location is an independent prognostic factor for both OS and RFS and may have an adverse impact on RFS, particularly in patients with stage III gastric cancer.PMID:38575509 | PMC:PMC10995826 | DOI:10.5230/jgc.2024.24.e3
