Abstract: The routine identification and removal of regional lymph nodes (LN) in solid neoplasms is essential. The proportion between metastatic and examined lymph nodes (N-ratio) has been proposed as an independent prognostic factor in patients with gastric cancer. We analyzed the postoperative survival of 124 patients with gastric cancer, having 96 intraoperative lymphography with colorant (methyl blue). For lymph nodes status (N, PN), were assigned two classifications: TNM, UICC/AJCC and the JSCA: (NR0: 0%, NR1 ≤20%, NR2 >20%). The impact concerning staging and survival of patients with gastric cancer and R0 resection was compared in the study group. A total of 124 patients with gastric cancer from our institution were studied retrospectively between 1998 and 2007.
