Abstract

Background Gastrectomy with lymph node dissection is the cornerstone of curative treatment of gastric cancer. Extent of lymphadenectomy may differ depending on T-stage, as the rate of lymph node metastases may differ. The objective of this systematic review is to investigate and compare the prevalence of nodal metastases in the individual lymph node stations between different T-stages. Methods Data reporting and structure of this systematic review follows the PRISMA checklist. The Medline and PubMed databases were systematically searched. The search included the following Mesh terms: "Stomach Neoplasms", "Lymphatic Metastasis" and "Lymph Node Excision". The primary outcome was the highest prevalence of nodal metastases per T-stage. Results The initial search resulted in 175 eligible articles. Five articles met the inclusion criteria and were accordingly analyzed. Concerning the lymph node stations 1 to 7, the lymph nodes along the lesser gastric curvature (station 3) show the highest metastases rate (T1: 5.5%, T2: 21.9%, T3: 41.9%, T4: 71.0%). Concerning the lymph node stations 8 to 20, the lymph nodes around the common hepatic artery (station 8) show the highest metastases rate (T1: 0.8%, T2: 7.9%, T3: 14.0%, T4: 28.2%). Conclusion An overall low prevalence of nodal metastases in the individual lymph node stations in early, T1 gastric carcinomas and an overall high prevalence in more advanced, T3 and T4 gastric carcinomas endorse a more tailored approach based on the different gastric T-stages. In addition, a less extensive lymphadenectomy seems justified in early T1 carcinoma. Synopsis This systematic review provides an overview of the prevalence of nodal metastases for the individual lymph node stations between different T-stages, showing an overall low prevalence in early, T1 gastric carcinomas and an overall high prevalence in the more advanced, T3 and T4 gastric carcinomas.
