Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of this trial with respect to morbidity
and mortality. Summary Background Data: Laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy (…

Importance Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy is gaining popularity over open distal gastrectomy
for gastric cancer because of better early postoperative outcomes. However, to our …

Objective: To determine the safety of laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG)
compared with open distal gastrectomy (ODG) in patients with clinical stage I gastric cancer in …

Purpose The oncologic outcomes of laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy for the treatment of
gastric cancer have not been evaluated. The aim of this study is to validate the efficacy and …

PURPOSE It is unclear whether laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for locally advanced gastric
cancer is oncologically equivalent to open distal gastrectomy. The noninferiority of …

Purpose To retrospectively measure the diagnostic performance of prospective computed
tomographic (CT) results obtained by using 16– or 64–detector row scanners in the detection …

Background The CLASSIC trial was done to compare adjuvant capecitabine plus oxaliplatin
versus observation after D2 gastrectomy for patients with stage II or III gastric cancer. The …

Background and Objectives Laparoscopy‐assisted gastrectomy with lymph node dissection
for gastric cancer is considered technically more complicated than the open method. …

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the short-term outcomes of KLASS-02-RCT,
a multicenter randomized controlled trial comparing laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) …

Background The aim of this multicenter retrospective study was to establish background
data for future randomized clinical trial comparing open and laparoscopy-assisted …
