Abstract
Our study demonstrates that pick-up SLN biopsy in gastric cancer is technically feasible but has very low sensitivity. Regarding the utility of SLN navigation when attempting to detect the nodal basin, the high rate of false negative SLNs and lymph node level jumping warrant further studies with a large accrual before the method can be introduced into daily practice.
