Macroscopic appearance of Type IV and giant Type III is a high risk for a poor prognosis in pathological stage II/III advanced gastric cancer with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy

Figure 2 Prognosis of pathological stage II/III advanced gastric cancer patients who underwent curative gastrectomy followed by S1 postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. A: Kaplan-Meier curves for overall survival (OS) (upper panel) and relapse free survival (RFS). Five year survival is shown; B: Stage distribution of pathological stage according to the 13^th Japanese Gastric Cancer Association stage in Kitasato University in comparison with the ACTS-GC trial; C: Rate of each macroscopic feature in pathological stage II/III advanced gastric cancer. High-risk macroscopic features (type IV and giant type III) are seen in 10.5% as shown in this figure.
