Evaluating the optimal treatment strategy for early and advanced remnant gastric cancer.

Lymphatic invasion and pathological T status were identified as risk factors for LN metastasis in RGC. Additional gastrectomy after ESD might not be mandatory for early RGC cases. For advanced RGC cases, splenectomy might not improve patient prognosis, however, lymph node dissection of jejunal and #10 lymph nodes should be considered due to its high incidence of metastasis.
