  Introduction: The detection of risk factors for lymph node extension in gastric cancers is crucial to standardize the indications of endoscopic treatment in early tumors, to rationalize the extension of lymphadenectomy and to adapt adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapies in locally advanced tumor. This study aimed to identify the clinical, biological, and histological predictive factors of lymph node involvement in gastric cancer. Patients and Methods: Clinical and histological data of 145 patients treated for gastric adenocarcinoma have been enrolled. Univariate and multivariate analyzes of risk factors for lymph node involvement were performed. Results: Lymph node invasion was found in 82.1% of cases. Among our patients, 32.4% were staged at pN3, 28.3% at pN2, and 21.4% at pN1. In univariate analysis, lymph.. View More»
