Background. The present study examined the clinical validity of modified gastrectomy for early gastric cancer, in terms of the results of sentinel node navigation surgery ( SNNS), using infrared ray electronic endoscopy ( IREE) plus indocyanine green ( ICG) staining.Methods. One-hundred and sixty-one patients with fT1N0 gastric cancer were enrolled in the study. ICG ( 0.5 ml, 5 mg/ml) was injected endoscopically into four quadrants of the submucosa surrounding the cancer. Twenty minutes after the injection, sentinel lymph nodes ( SNs) stained with ICG were observed intraperitoneally around the serosa and surrounding fat tissue. IREE was used to illuminate regional lymph nodes from the serosal side.Results. Group 2 lymph nodes were judged as SNs in 52 patients ( 32%). The most common locations of the SNs were stations No. 7 in each of the upper-, middle-, and lower- thirds of the stomach. In two patients, lymph node metastasis was positive. One of these patients, with cancer in the middle one-third of the stomach, had SNs in stations No. 3, 4sb, 4d, 7, and No. 11p, and had metastatic lymph nodes in No. 3 and No. 7 ( all SNs). The other patient, with cancer in the lower one-third of the stomach, had SNs in No. 1, 3, 4d, and 6, and had a metastatic lymph node in No. 4d ( SN). Skip metastasis was not observed in this study, and metastatic lymph nodes were judged to have been dissected by the D1+alpha procedure.Conclusion. For T1N0 gastric cancer, modified gastrectomy ( D1+ alpha dissection) combined with SNNS is suitable; however, for those whose Group 2 lymph nodes are judged to be SNs, additional dissection of lymphatic basins detected by SNNS should be performed to confirm the absence of lymph node metastasis.
