COBISS.SI-ID: 28333785Background: Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping has recently been introduced in the treatment of gastric cancer. Although immunohistochemistry and conventional real-time PCR (RTqPCR) provide reliable information about micrometastases in SLNs, they cannot examine large numbers of lymph nodes in a short time, making them unfeasible for intraoperative use. The SLN is defined as the first node to receive cancer-cell drainage from the primary tumour, therefore micrometastases or isolated tumour cells should first develop in these nodes. In this preliminary study, we evaluated the concept of single SLN screenings for micrometastases by use of the Maruyama computer program.

COBISS.SI-ID: 4138047Background: The advantages of proximal resection with jejunal interposition and modified D2 lymphadenectomy, for elderly patients, could outweigh the higher risk of recurrence with this less radical lymphadenectomy. The aim of our study was to evaluate proximal resection with modified D2 lymphadenectomy as an alternative in selected patients.
