Radical Gastrectomy

Radical proximal gastrectomy is one of the most commonly used conventional surgeries for gastric carcinoma. Its indications include small early cancer of the upper stomach; localized cancer in the upper stomach; gastric cancer without metastasis; and gastric cancer with only lymph node station 1 metastasis.

What is an example of radical surgery?

A radical prostatectomy is the total removal of your prostate and the surrounding tissues. It is done as a potential cure for prostate cancer as it removes all cancerous cells. It can be combined with other treatments—for example, surgery followed by radiation therapy if needed.

Why is a surgery called radical?

Radical surgery, also called radical dissection, is surgery that is more extensive than "conservative" surgery. In surgical oncology, radical surgery is surgery intended to remove both a tumor and any metastases thereof, for diagnostic and/or treatment purposes.
