D2 gastrectomy is standard treatment of early gastric cancer in Japan but in other countries there is still some discord, especially in Europe and North America. Although the quantity of metastasis cancer in lymph node defines survival regardless of which country the patient is treated, the total number of lymph nodes harvested is an important factor to predict accurate staging and/or D2 gastrectomy. Both of the number total lymph nodes and the metastasis lymph node status in gastric cancer are important factors to decide each prognosis. This study evaluated the correlation between total lymph nodes retrieved and metastasis node by lymph node ratio (LNR) status to determine the recurrence rate after curative resection of gastric
