Abstract

The technical safety of LADG with D2 lymph node dissection for locally advanced gastric cancer was demonstrated. A phase III trial to confirm the non-inferiority of this procedure to open gastrectomy in terms of long-term outcomes is ongoing. Registered Number: UMIN 000003420 ( www.umin.ac.jp/ctr/).
