dc.description.abstractBackground/Aim: The extent of gastric resection and the role of lymphadenectomy in the treatment of gastric cancer are controversial. Methods: This study evaluates the results of radical gastric resection (D2 lymphadenectomy) in 375 patients with a gastric carcinoma operated according to a prospective protocol, Results: Total gastrectomy was performed in 196 and a subtotal gastrectomy in 179 patients, with an operative mortality of 3.5 and 2.8%. The presence of lymph node metastasis was related to the depth of the tumor in the gastric wall. The cumulative 5-year survival was dependent on the depth of tumoral invasion in the gastric wall and also on the presence of lymphatic metastasis. Curative resection had a significantly better 5-year survival (72%) than noncurative resection (26%). Conclusion: Although it is difficult to prove the benefits of extended lymphadenectomy in the surgical treatment of gastric carcinoma, the results of these series seem to support its usefulness.
