Abstract
LVI is an independent prognostic factor predicting LN metastasis and a strongly independent predictor of survival for patients with resected gastric cancer. We recommend that LVI should be taken into account as an important adjuvant prognostic factor, specially for pN0 cases with inadequate LNs retrieved. And the maximum number of LNs possible should be retrieved for optimal staging, especially for patients with higher cT stage.
