Gastrectomy and lymph node dissection in the conventional D2 procedure. The proximal margin of gastrectomy should achieve at least 3 cm for T2 or deeper tumors with an expansive growth pattern or 5 cm for those with an infiltrative growth pattern. The lymphadenectomy should include 1, 3, 4sb, 4d, 5, 6, 7, 8a, 9, 11p, and 12a groups of lymph nodes [3]
