Dr Michael G. House (Indianapolis, IN): I would like to congratulate Dr Sweigert for the very easy, organized study and a very beautiful presentation. I think under the mentorship of Dr Marshall Baker, you have done a very nice analysis of patients with invasive gastric adenocarcinoma who were captured by the National Cancer Database. You focused on patients who underwent total gastrectomy. It's a large-scale study. It obviously had appropriate propensity matching between the surgical treatment groups, namely, those who underwent minimally invasive technique for total gastrectomy and those who underwent an open operation.
