In this study that included 526 patients with proximal gastric cancer that had not invaded the greater curvature, the studied procedure did not improve 3-year disease-free survival compared to standard gastrectomy: 70.3 vs. 64.3 per cent, respectively, P=0.11).

Comment: Subgroup analysis suggested that patients with advanced posterior gastric cancer may benefit from this procedure.
