Dear Sir; Although the incidence of gastric carcinoma is declining in Western Europe, the disease remains the second most common cause of cancer death worldwide. Surgery is the only curative treatment [1, 2]. Kattan et al. established a nomogram derived from 1,039 patients who underwent R0 gastric cancer resection at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, NY. The nomogram combines easily accessible factors: sex, age, tumor location, Lauren histotype, number of histologic positive and negative nodes, as well as depth of invasion, data that should be available in every institution performing gastric cancer surgery [3].
