[Role of D2 lymphadenectomy in the surgical treatment of gastric cancer. Preliminary results].
The extent of lymphadenectomy in the treatment of gastric cancer is still a matter of debate. Japanese studies show better long-term survival with D2 dissection. In the west, D2 lymphadenectomy has not obtained the same degree of approval. The aim of this study was to evaluate the preliminary results obtained in our centre in the light of the literature.
