Background In proximal gastrectomy (PG), a longer distal margin (DM) length should be maintained to obtain a pathologically negative DM. However, a shorter DM length is preferred to preserve a large remnant stomach for favorable postoperative outcomes. Evidence regarding the minimum DM length to ensure a pathologically negative DM is useful. Methods Patients who underwent PG or total gastrectomy for cT1N0M0 gastric cancer limited to the upper third were enrolled. A new parameter, Delta DM, which corresponded to the pathological extension distal to the gross tumor boundary towards the resection stump, was evaluated. The maximum Delta DM, which is the length ensuring a pathologically negative DM, was first determined. Furthermore, the possible incidences of pathologically positive DM were calculated for each pathological type and clinical tumor (cTumor) size. Results Of 361 patients eligible for this study, 190 and 171 were assigned to differentiated (Dif) and undifferentiated types (Und), respectively. The maximum Delta DM was 30 and 40 mm in Dif and Und, respectively. Considering a correlation between cTumor size and Delta DM, and possible incidences of pathologically positive DM, 10, 20, and 30 mm were the minimal gross DM lengths in Dif when cTumor size was 15 and 50 mm, respectively. In Und, the incidences of pathologically positive DM were 0.59% and 2.3% for gross DM lengths of 30 and 20 mm, respectively. Conclusion The minimum DM lengths to ensure a pathologically negative DM in PG are proposed according to the pathological type of early upper gastric cancer.
