To establish standardized definitions and classifications for curative and non-curative surgical procedures in gastric cancer treatment.
Categorized curative surgical approaches into standard gastrectomy, modified surgery, and extended surgery based on extent of resection and lymphadenectomy.
Defined non-curative procedures, sub-classifying them into palliative surgery and reduction surgery for incurable presentations.
Established staging criteria including distant metastasis definitions encompassing peritoneal cytology positivity (CY1).
Standard gastrectomy for curative intent requires resection of at least two-thirds of the stomach paired with D2 lymph node dissection.
Non-standard gastrectomy adapts the resection margin and lymph node clearance based on stage, incorporating modified (D1 or D1+) or extended procedures (exceeding D2 or organ resection).
Non-curative interventions are reserved for incurable cases and are directed toward symptom palliation or tumor mass reduction.
