Core Tip	Gastric cancer remains one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide. Although radical surgery with adequate lymphadenectomy is the cornerstone of curative treatment, whether D2 lymphadenectomy is applicable in Western hospitals is not clear, despite the low reported morbidity and mortality rates and survival benefit. This single-center study of 109 pati-ents demonstrates that D2 lymphadenectomy can be performed with relatively low mortality (1.8%) and morbidity (26.6%). Five-year survival rates were 45.0% (overall) and 53.0% (disease-specific). Therefore, D2 gastrectomy can be considered as a safe surgical option for gastric cancer.
