Abstract:
This article analyzes the characteristics of lymph node metastasis in proximal advanced gastric cancer,in order to guide the extent of stomach resection (proximal or total gastrectomy) and the resection of spleen or splenic preservation. The metastasis of lymph node in proximal advanced gastric cancer has certain characteristics, which can provide a significant guidance for lymphadenectomy. Total gastrectomy plus splenectomy is a feasible radical surgery for proximal advanced gastric cancer, because of the requirement of lymphadenectomy.
