RLI significantly affects long-term survival of advanced gastric cancer. The impact on prognosis is independent of lymph node involvement. Patients in good general condition for whom radical surgery is possible should be considered for reoperation.
A large proportion of young gastric cancer patients present without alarm symptoms. Despite the delay in diagnosis, these patients have a better outcome than those with alarm symptoms. Thus the delay in diagnosis of patients without alarm symptoms does not affect survival.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
