The assessment of lymphatic metastases is an important factor in the staging of gastric cancer. Lymph node size has been used as one criterion for possible nodal metastasis. Although enlarged regional lymph nodes are generally interpreted as metastases, few data are available that correlate lymph node size with metastatic infiltration.Keywords
