Core Tip	In this paper, we discussed the current status of super-extended lymph node dissection (LND) for advanced gastric cancer based on the results of a questionnaire survey. A recent study has indicated that prophylactic super-extensive lymphadenectomy does not improve the survival rate in patients with curable gastric cancer. In another study, surgery with para-aortic dissection was effective with the addition of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Although super-extended LND seems to be rarely accepted worldwide, the rigorous and careful selection of patients can provide long-term survival after systemic LND. Therefore, we present the current status of super-extended LND in Japan.
