| | Gastrectomy |
 | | Gastrectomy is the surgical removal of all or part of the stomach. | | | Gastrectomy for gastric cancer is almost always done by the traditional "open" surgery technique, which requires a wide incision to open the abdomen. | | | Overall survival after gastrectomy for gastric cancer varies greatly by the stage of disease at the time of surgery. |
