Core Tip

Core tip: Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumours of the digestive system. In recent years, individualised surgical therapy has been applied for gastric cancer. This study plan explored the distribution, size, shape and enhancement characteristics of metastatic lymph nodes. It also provided a basis for determining lymph node metastasis before surgery by retrospectively analyzing multi-slice spiral computed tomography manifestations of lymph nodes of patients with gastric cancer after surgery in the hospital. The findings were compared with the pathological results.
