    Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common cancer and third leading cause of cancer mortality globally.

  • 2

    Lymph node (LN) involvement significantly influences recurrence and prognosis in gastric cancer.

  • 3

    The prevalence of LN metastases increases with T-stage, from 8%-31% in T1 tumors to 45%-90% in T2-T4 tumors.

  • 4

    D1 lymphadenectomy (LND) is recommended for early T1a and well-differentiated T1b tumors, balancing morbidity and metastasis risk.

  • 5

    This systematic review aims to compare the prevalence of nodal metastases across different T-stages and individual LN stations.
