Abstract

Background: The feasibility and diagnostic reliability of sentinel lymph node biopsy of gastric carcinoma are still unclear and controversial. Patients and Methods: To assess the applicability of the sentinel node concept to gastric carcinoma, we retrospectively analyzed the location of metastatic lymph nodes in patients with only one or two lymph node metastases. Results: A total of 135 patients, who underwent gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy for primary gastric adenocarcinoma between 1997 and 2001, were enrolled in this study. An average of 39 lymph nodes were resected and analyzed for each patient. Of the 135 patients, 88 (65%) were subtyped as pN+ (with lymph node metastasis); of the latter, 15 cases (pT1-3; 17% of N+ cases) showed one or two lymph node metastases. In 14 (93%) of these patients, lymph nodes directly adjacent to the primary tumor were involved. Skip metastases were only seen in one patient with cardia carcinoma and lymph node involvement of compartment II (left gastric artery). Conclusion: In patients with gastric carcinoma, especially in early stage carcinoma, the phenomenon of skip metastasis is infrequent. Therefore, the sentinel node concept may be feasible in gastric cancer.
