gastrectomy d1 d2

INTRODUCTION: D2 gastrectomy has shown a survival benefit in patients with highly advanced gastric cancer; however, it remains unclear whether D2 gastrectomy is required for patients with early-stage advanced gastric cancer or early gastric cancer with limited lymph node metastasis. This analysis aimed to clarify the oncologic feasibility of D1+ gastrectomy in patients with cT1N1, cT2N0-1, or cT3N0 gastric cancer. METHODS: This retrospective cohort analysis included 466 patients with cT1N1, cT2N0-1, or cT3N0 gastric cancer who received curative gastrectomy with either D2 or D1+ dissection...

AIM: Surgery in association with lymphadenectomy is the treatment of choice for the gastric adenocarcinoma. Aim is to report our experience in the surgical treatment of gastric cancer in a European center. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospectively maintained database identified 515 patients. Staging laparoscopy was performed to rule out peritoneal carcinomatosis in suspicious cases. Type of surgery and lymphadenectomy were determined according to the Japanese guidelines and pathological staging according to the TNM classification...

INTRODUCTION: Pernicious anemia (PA) caused by vitamin B12 deficiency is associated with Autoimmune Metaplastic Atrophic Gastritis (AMAG). Patients with AMAG have threefold risk of the development of gastric cancer. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We describe a case of a 66 year old man with a history of PA and atrophic antral-corpus gastritis. After endoscopic and chromoendoscopic evaluation the patient was treated with subtotal gastrectomy plus D2 lymphadenectomy. The tumor was diagnosed as Stage Ia; pT1a pN0 pM0 G2 with multiple foci of high grade dysplasia and intramucosal adenocarcinoma...

BACKGROUND: The results of D1-plus lymphadenectomy following gastric resection are seldom investigated. The aim of this study was to compare results of D1-plus vs D2 resections and to provide a literature review. METHODS: Patients who underwent upfront R0 gastrectomy for adenocarcinoma from 2000 to 2016 in three Institutions were selected using propensity scores and categorized according to lymphadenectomy. Statistical analyses were performed for the nodal harvest (LNH) and survival...

BACKGROUND: Mesenteric traction syndrome (MTS), which is characterized by arterial hypotension and tachycardia following mesenteric traction (MT), frequently occurs during abdominal surgery. Dexmedetomidine, commonly used in general anesthesia during major surgery, has a sympatholytic effect and attenuates the compensatory response to hypotension. OBJECTIVE: Assess the effect of dexmedetomidine on hypotension following mesenteric traction. DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial...

BACKGROUND: Small bowel obstruction after gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction (R-Y reconstruction) is not a rare complication. However, patients who need re-operation for this complication have a high rate of postoperative complications. We report a case series of three patients who underwent fluoroscopic balloon dilation (FBD) for early jejunojejunostomy obstruction (JJO) after gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction (R-Y reconstruction). CASE PRESENTATION: Three patients were referred to our hospital for surgery for gastric cancer...

BACKGROUND: D2 lymph node dissection (LND) is a widely performed as a standard procedure for advanced gastric cancer (AGC). However, there is little evidence supporting D2 over D1+ LND for gastric cancer treatment. This study compared the long-term outcomes of D2 and D1+ LND for AGC. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed data on 1121 patients who underwent curative distal gastrectomy and had pathologic stage of ≥ pT2 or pN+. The patients were categorized into the D1+ and D2 LND groups, and long-term survival was compared in the original and propensity score matching (PSM) cohorts...

PURPOSE: T1 gastric cancer is treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) or surgery, considering the risk of lymph node metastasis. Additional gastrectomy is necessary when the pathological specimens after ESD show some risk of lymph node metastasis. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) after ESD sometimes reveals enlarged lymph nodes, which should prompt surgeons to select D2 over D1/D1+. However, whether or not CT after ESD is reliable remains unclear. METHODS: Patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for clinical T1 between April 2015 and June 2019 were enrolled...

BACKGROUND: Gastrectomy including D2 lymphadenectomy is regarded as the standard curative treatment for advanced gastric cancer in Asia. This procedure has also been adopted gradually in the West, despite lack of support from RCTs. This study sought to investigate any advantage for long-term survival following D2 lymphadenectomy in routine gastric cancer surgery in a Western nationwide population-based cohort. METHODS: All patients who had a gastrectomy for cancer in Sweden in 2006-2017 were included in the study...

At present, optimal surgery for gastric cancer is still under debate, especially the extent of lymph node dissection. Gastrectomy with D1/D2 lymphadenectomy is standard treatment for resectable advanced gastric cancer. However, in early gastric cancer without lymph node metastasis, gastrectomy with D1/D2 lymphadenectomy may not be unnecessary, which could increases morbidity and mortality and reduces the quality of life (QOL). Therefore, the concept of sentinel lymph node could be applied in gastric cancer...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine surgical and survival outcomes in the elderly (65-79 years of age) and the very elderly (≥80 years of age) who received surgery for gastric cancer. Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed the records of patients ≥65 years old who received a gastrectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma. Demographic, clinical, and pathological data were extracted from the medical records. Patients were divided into two groups: those 65-79 years of age and those ≥80 years of age...

Gastric adenocarcinoma and proximal polyposis of the stomach (GAPPS) is a rare variant of familial adenomatous polyposis. It is an autosomal-dominant cancer-predisposition syndrome with massive polyposis of the stomach and a significant risk of gastric adenocarcinoma. Li et al., 2016, described point mutations in the Ying Yang 1 binding site of the APC gene 1B promoter associated with GAPPS syndrome. The first GAPPS syndrome in a Czech family was described in 2016. At Masaryk Memorial Cancer Institute, GAPPS syndrome was diagnosed in eight families using Sanger sequencing...

BACKGROUND: The extent of lymph node dissection for patients with gastroesophageal carcinoma remains controversial. We sought to examine the perioperative risk and survival outcomes in a large Western series of patients undergoing limited (D0/D1) vs extended (D1+/D2) lymphadenectomy (LAD) for gastroesophageal carcinoma. STUDY DESIGN: Clinicopathologic and treatment factors for 520 patients with gastroesophageal carcinoma undergoing potentially curative resection at a single institution from 1995 to 2017 were analyzed for their impact on perioperative morbidity and mortality, lymph node yield, and overall survival...

BACKGROUNDS: Laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) for gastric cancer is safe and feasible. In contrast, no prospective study evaluating the safety and efficacy of laparoscopy-assisted total gastrectomy (LATG) or laparoscopy-assisted proximal gastrectomy (LAPG) has been completed. We conducted a single-arm confirmatory trial to evaluate the safety of LATG/LAPG for clinical stage I (T1N0/T1N1/T2N0) proximal gastric cancer. METHODS: The extent of lymphadenectomy was selected based on the Japanese Gastric Cancer Treatment Guidelines...

BACKGROUND: There are several surgical options for treating early gastric cancers (EGCs), such as endoscopic resection, laparoscopic or open gastrectomy with D1 or D2 lymphadenectomy. Endoscopic resection for EGC with low risk of lymph node metastasis has been widely accepted as a therapeutic alternative. The role of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in treating EGC is not well established, especially when compared with resection surgery cases in a long-term follow-up scope. AIM: To compare the safety and efficacy of the short- and long-term outcomes between ESD and resection surgery...

BACKGROUND: It remains unclear whether total gastrectomy is necessary for patients with proximal T2/T3 gastric cancer. To explore the oncological safety of proximal gastrectomy for proximal T2/T3 gastric cancer, in this study, we evaluated the metastatic rates in and the therapeutic effect of dissection of key distal lymph node stations that are usually excluded in proximal gastrectomy. METHODS: In this study, we examined 202 patients seen between January 2000 and December 2012, who underwent total gastrectomy with lymph node dissection (D1/D1+/D2; 2/17/183) and was pathologically diagnosed as T2/T3 gastric cancer exclusively located in the upper third of the stomach...

BACKGROUND: The double-tracer method has been established for sentinel node (SN) mapping in gastric cancer surgery. However, there remain several unresolved issues that prevent its widespread use in clinical practice. In this study, we aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of single-tracer SN mapping in laparoscopic surgery for gastric cancer, using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging with a one-step nucleic acid amplification (OSNA) assay intraoperatively. METHODS: Patients with clinical T1N0M0 gastric adenocarcinoma preoperatively were considered for inclusion if they had a single primary lesion 4 cm or less in maximal diameter...
