This randomized trial of the surgical treatment of curable gastric cancer in Japan compared gastrectomy and extended (D2) lymphadenectomy with gastrectomy and D2 lymphadenectomy plus para-aortic nodal dissection (PAND). There were no significant differences in overall survival between the two groups. Gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy remains the preferred surgical treatment for curable gastric cancer in Japan.
