#4sa and #11d were key lymph nodes predicting #10 nodal metastasis in UGC-GC. When these key nodes are positive on computed tomography before surgery or according to a rapid pathological examination during surgery, dissection of #10 should be considered even if upper advanced tumors are not invading the greater curvature.
