- Abstract
The article investigates the pattern and timing of recurrence, and determines associated risk factors after radical resection, of gastric cancer, including D2 dissection. A total of 274 patients who had undergone radical resection of gastric cancer with nodal involvement or T3-4 tumor were randomized to receive chemotherapy or no further treatment. The rate of locoregional recurrence after radical surgery for gastric cancer was lower than that in studies based on more conservative surgery. The pathological tumor stage was related to the rate of locoregional recurrence whereas the pathological node stage had an impact on distant recurrence.
