- Abstract
Cancer cells are often found in adipose connective tissue separate from the primary lesion and outside lymph nodes on routine pathologic examination of resected gastric cancer specimens. To identify the anatomical relationship between such cancer cell spread and lymph nodes, we investigated the microscopic cancer cell spread in the mesogastrium (CSM) by the whole-section analysis of the mesogastrium.
