Proposal of a New TNM Classification for Gastric Cancer: Focusing on pN3b and Cytology-Positive (CY1) Disease.

Conclusions: In terms of survival, T4bN3a, N3b, and CY1-only stage IV were unified as stage IVa, while grossly stage IV was defined as stage IVb. N3b can be regarded as an eligibility criterion for undergoing more intensive chemotherapy regimens. PMID: 31598375 [PubMed]
