Long-term survival of gastric cancer patients with positive intraoperative frozen section margins: a single-cohort analysis
TNM stage and achieving R0 resection were the most important prognostic factors in patients with positive IFS margins. R0 resection had greater survival impact in low-risk groups, while R1 resection was associated with poor outcomes regardless of stage, emphasizing the importance of complete tumor removal when technically feasible.
