    Background: Although the development of lymphatic invasion by gastric cancer has been solved using 'solitary lymph node metastasis' research, few facts are known about the sequential flow following the sentinel station. Aim: In this study, we investigate the lymphatic spread of gastric cancers using 'triple lymph nodes metastases' analysis. Methods: During January 2001 and December 2015, 402 subsequent patients with gastric cancer underwent gastrectomy with standardized lymph node dissection at our institute. Among them, lymph node involvement was revealed in 234 patients by a histopathological study. The lymphatic spread of gastric cancer was analyzed theoretically based on the probability of additional lymph node metastases from each station. Results:.. View More»
