Core Tip	Gastric cancer located at the middle or lower stomach is a risk factor of hepatoduodenal lymph node (HDLN) metastasis and indicates relatively high therapeutic value of HDLN dissection. N-category, in especially pN3, is an independent poor prognostic factor in gastric cancer patients with HDLN metastasis. HDLN dissection should be indicated for N1 or N2 gastric cancers located at the middle or lower stomach.
