Clinical Significance of Tumor Deposits in Gastric Cancer: a Retrospective and Propensity Score-Matched Study at Two Institutions

Background Gastric cancer (GC) treatment is largely determined by tumor stage. Despite improvements in the mode of treatment of various types of advanced disease, staging is still evolving. The role of tumor deposits (TDs) in staging remains debated. The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between TDs and prognosis in GC.
