Abstract :
Introduction : Radical surgery with lymphadenectomy is the main stay of treatment in gastric cancer. The aim of this study is to evaluate stage migration after D2 lymphadenectomy by simulating D1 lymphadenectomy in resected gastrectomy specimens for distal gastric cancer. Materials and Methods : All patients who underwent D2 lymphadenectomy for distal gastric cancer between January 2014 to December 2014 performed by a single surgeon were included in the study. D2 lymph nodes were dissected at the end of the surgery from the resected specimen. D1 lymph nodes were sent with the main specimen. Results: Stage migration according to AJCC Gastric cancer staging 7th edition was observed in 8 out of 29 patients. Conclusion: In our series, D2 lymphadenectomy improved staging of patients with gastric cancer. It improves lymph nodal yield and decreases incomplete resections.
