First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is looking at 400 people with stomach cancer who had surgery to remove the tumor and nearby lymph nodes. Researchers want to see if the number of lymph node areas that contain cancer can help predict how long patients will live. The goal is to better understand which patients may have a worse outlook after surgery.
