Core Tip	The efficacy of 14v lymph node (LN) dissection during radical distal gastrectomy for lower-third gastric cancer (GC) remains controversial. The present propensity score-matched study indicated that among pathological stage lower-third GC IIIA patients, 14v LN dissection resulted in longer survival compared to treatment without it. The overall survival of patients with 14v LN metastasis was similar with that of patients with distant metastasis.
