The extent of lymphadenectomy cannot be reduced after NAC for gastric cancer. Although the pattern of LN metastases is related to tumor location, all LN stations contained metastases regardless of tumor location, cT-stage (including cT1N0-tumors), histological subtype, or NAC treatment. Therefore, D2-lymphadenectomy should be routinely performed during gastrectomy in Western patients.
