PERFORMANCE OF GASTRECTOMY AND LYMPHADENECTOMY FOR GASTRIC CANCER WITH THE SPLEEN BEING PRESERVED
Surgery remains the only radical treatment for gastric cancer (GC); however, its many related problems have not been solved. Among them there is particularly the expedience of simultaneously removing the spleen in GC patients during gastrectomy and lymphadenectomy, the state of immunity before and after surgery, and the impact of splenectomy in the immediate postoprerative period, and the patients' health status in the late postoperative periods.
