Core Tip
Core tip: Para-aortic lymph node metastasis is defined as lymph node metastasis between the aortic hiatus and the aortic bifurcation. To date, it is considered a distant metastasis and plays a crucial role in the evaluation of the prognosis of advanced gastric cancer (AGC). The necessity of para-aortic lymph node dissection (PAND) remains uncertain for patients with AGC. Preoperative S-1 and cisplatin followed by radical surgery with D2 + PAND is the current standard treatment strategy for patients with extensive lymph node metastasis. The main purpose of this review is to summarize the advances in the therapeutic effects of PAND in patients with AGC. The second purpose is to highlight the clinical significance of chemotherapy combined with radical surgery for patients with AGC.
