Predictive factors for the detection of occult metastases during staging laparoscopy in patients with gastric carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction
Occult metastases are common in patients with GC or AEG who undergo SL. Histological evidence of signet ring cells should be considered a high-risk histology result and should be an independent indication for SL. Patients with positive cM staging might benefit from SL because of the high probability of further occult metastases.
