Outcome of prophylactic radical lymphadenectomy with gastrectomy in patients with early gastric carcinoma without lymph node metastasis

Prophylactic extended lymphadenectomy with gastrectomy may prolong survival in patients with early gastric carcinoma without lymph node metastasis. However, the therapeutic value of extensive lymphadenectomy in patients with early gastric carcinoma remains controversial.
