PY - 2018 T2 - Textbook of Complex General Surgical Oncology AB - Surgery plays a central role in the treatment of mid-stage gastric cancer (T2-T4a, N0-N3a). Chemo- or chemoradiotherapy before and/or after surgery may improve survival, but adequate and meticulous surgery is a prerequisite for cure of the disease. Optimal local tumor control is achieved with gastric resection having sufficient resection margins and adequate lymphadenectomy. In this section, the principles and techniques of standard gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy for noncardiac distal gastric cancer are described.
