  The recent improvement in the detection rate of T1 gastric cancers in Japan has highlighted the importance of patients' post-operative QOL. An accurate diagnostic exclusion of cases with lymph node involvement (about 10 % of T1 cases) is an essential precondition to the acceptance and use of modified lymphadenectomy such as D0 or D1 for T1 cancers.

 The sentinel node (SN) is the first lymph node (LN) encountered by the lymphatic flow as it drains from the primary lesion. SNs are detectable intraoperatively by the injection of a suitable dye or radioactive tracer. A negative result for metastasis in the SN predicts the absence of metastases in the other regional lymph nodes. Although there are a lot of reports evidencing the feasibility of SN biopsy for gastric cancer, a more reliable and generalized methodology of SN biopsy is required. Two nation-wide clinical trials of SN biopsy for gastric cancer in conventional open surgery have been commenced in Japan and the general application of SN biopsy will spread widely after confirmation of the feasibility of SN biopsy has been established.
