Abstract
Radical dissection for gastric cancer is not widely practiced in the W est. This paper reviews the evidence in support of lymphadenectomy and the techniques of radical resection as practiced by Japanese surgeons . We believe the published results support increased use of radical su rgery in the treatment of gastric cancer and would recommend further a doption of this technique as there is minimal associated morbidity.
