Résumé

To validate the prognostic impacts of the left gastric artery lymph node (No. 7 LN) metastasis and investigate whether the No. 7 LN metastasis should be considered as the predictive LN for extra-gastric LN metastases. Between January 2003 and December 2011, a total of 1,586 patients who underwent R0 gastrectomy were retrospected. Patients with LN metastases were divided into three groups: (I) patients with only peri-gastric LN metastases (peri-gastric group); (II) patients with peri-gastric and only No. 7 LN metastases (No. 7 group); and (III) patients with other extra-gastric LN metastases (extra-gastric group). Propensity score matching (PSM) was adopted to accurately evaluate prognoses of all patients after surgery. Of 1,586 patients, 235 (14.82%) were pathologically identified to present with the No. 7 LN metastases. Patients with the No. 7 LN metastases presented the significantly lower survival rate both before and after adjustment by pTNM stage, compared to those without the No. 7 LN metastases. Patients in the No. 7 group were identified to present the significant lower survival rate than those in the peri-gastric group, and to present the similar median overall survival (OS) to those in the extra-gastric group. In addition, patients with extra-gastric LN except No. 7 LN metastases failed to show any superiority of survival outcomes, compared with those with extra-gastric LN metastases including the No. 7 LN metastasis. The No. 7 LN metastases had the crucial survival implications. Nevertheless, the No. 7 LN failed to be considered as the predictive LN for the extra-gastric LN metastases in gastric cancer (GC).

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
To validate the prognostic impacts of the left gastric artery lymph node (No. 7 LN) metastasis and investigate whether the No. 7 LN metastasis should be considered as the predictive LN for extra-gastric LN metastases.
METHODS METHODS
Between January 2003 and December 2011, a total of 1,586 patients who underwent R0 gastrectomy were retrospected. Patients with LN metastases were divided into three groups: (I) patients with only peri-gastric LN metastases (peri-gastric group); (II) patients with peri-gastric and only No. 7 LN metastases (No. 7 group); and (III) patients with other extra-gastric LN metastases (extra-gastric group). Propensity score matching (PSM) was adopted to accurately evaluate prognoses of all patients after surgery.
RESULTS RESULTS
Of 1,586 patients, 235 (14.82%) were pathologically identified to present with the No. 7 LN metastases. Patients with the No. 7 LN metastases presented the significantly lower survival rate both before and after adjustment by pTNM stage, compared to those without the No. 7 LN metastases. Patients in the No. 7 group were identified to present the significant lower survival rate than those in the peri-gastric group, and to present the similar median overall survival (OS) to those in the extra-gastric group. In addition, patients with extra-gastric LN except No. 7 LN metastases failed to show any superiority of survival outcomes, compared with those with extra-gastric LN metastases including the No. 7 LN metastasis.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
The No. 7 LN metastases had the crucial survival implications. Nevertheless, the No. 7 LN failed to be considered as the predictive LN for the extra-gastric LN metastases in gastric cancer (GC).
