Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: In our retrospective study, the data of 328 patients of proximal gastric cancer with different T stages were analyzed. By comparing the differences of lymph node metastatic rate and ratio, we investigated the clinicopathological characteristics and metastatic patterns of lymph nodes. Also, we were especially interested in the differences in survival rates between patients with and without No. 5 and 6 group metastasis with the same TNM stage. RESULTS: The overall lymph node metastatic rate and ratio of advanced proximal gastric cancer were 73.4% and 23.3%, respectively. The tumors of different T stages were statistically significant in size and differentiation degree (P < 0.05), multivariate analysis showed that the depth of tumor invasion was an independent risk factor for lymph node metastasis in proximal gastric cancer (RR, 12.025; 95% CI, 2.326 to 62.157; P = 0.003). The overall survival rate of patients with No. 5, 6 group lymph node metastasis and those without was significantly different, but the differences in survival rates between patients with and without No. 5 and 6 group metastasis with the same TNM stage were not statistically significant.
