Standard lymph node dissection (D2 surgery) for antral carcinoma

Han Liang

Abstract

Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers in China, and most are already at an advanced stage when they are diagnosed. Although the range of lymph node dissection for gastric cancer remains controversial in the East and the West, a consensus in eastern Asia is: the standard lymph node dissection should reach D2.
