摘要: Background and objectives This study was aimed at evaluating the prognostic significance of number metastatic nodes in early gastric cancer (EGC). Methods In this multicenter retrospective 652 cases resected EGC were analyzed. We searched for lymph node metastases-associated risk factors to identify subsets patients with different prognosis according involved nodes. Results Nodal involvement observed 14.1%. A significant correlation found between presence metastases tumor size (RR 1.34, P = 0.001), submucosal invasion (RR: 3.14, 0.007), Lauren diffuse/mixed type 4.88, 15) even N0 patients. Conclusions confirmed be a factor. view trend lower recurrence when more than 15 retrieved better staging achieved we consider D2 lymphadenectomy treatment choice.
