Surgical resection for LMGC may be indicated in patients with unilobar metastasis and/or tumors less than 4 cm in diameter. Synchronous metastasis is not a contraindication for hepatectomy.

These findings suggest that many cases of AFPGC develop as COM or ENT in the mucosa, which differentiate into ENT and HPT during the process of tumor invasion and proliferation, acquiring AFP production ability.

The extent of lymph-node dissection was a significant factor in gallstone formation after gastrectomy; therefore, prophylactic cholecystectomy should be considered in cases of extensive lymph-node dissection.

Clear anatomic distinction of EGJ tumors is likely to provide insight into the appropriate extent of lymphadenectomy. Dissection of the paracardial and lesser curve nodes is essential for staging as well as for obtaining therapeutic benefit in surgery for in EGJ carcinomas (Siewert type II).
