Core Tip This is the first meta-analysis describing the effect of lymph node micrometastasis on gastric carcinoma prognosis worldwide. Lymph node micrometastasis (LNMM) positivity was associated with a worse prognosis compared with LNMM negativity. The effects of LNMM positivity in gastric cancer patients for different T-stages remain unclear. LNMM in patients with gastric carcinoma also had a higher recurrence rate. With regards to numbers of patients who died in five years, Asian patients were worse than European and Australian patients.
