Summary

The aim of this study is intending to provide the optimal procedures of lymph node sorting for pathological examination after curative surgery for gastric cancer, which can discriminate the differences of the status of lymph node metastasis, pTNM classification and prognostic outcome of gastric cancer patients.

Conditions

• Lymph Node Metastases
• Gastric Cancer
• Exanimation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	lymph node sorting for pathological examination	In this study, intervention methods include two kinds of lymph node sorting for pathological examination in gastric cancer samples after curative surgery. One is the fine sorting lymph nodes, representing the lymph nodes should be sorted one by one from the tissues around the stomach, celiac axis, and the main brunches of celiac axis. The other is the group sorting lymph nodes, representing the lymph nodes should be simply sorted in the soft tissues around the stomach, celiac axis, and the main brunches of celiac axis.
