Towards a tailored lymphadenectomy for gastric cancer based on the correlation between the primary tumor location and the first lymphatic drain basin: Preliminary data.

CONCLUSION: Primary gastric tumors towards the lesser curvature should be treated by a modified D2 lymphadenctomy. However, for tumors towards the greater curvature, a D1(+) lymphadenectomy always including the no. 7 & 9 lymph node stations complex, might be enough. PMID: 29135094 [PubMed - in process]
