Applying the mesogastrium concept to enhance radical resection in gastric cancer surgery

Domenico D’Ugo, MD, Catholic University of Rome, Rome, Italy, discusses the concept of the mesogastrium and its implications for surgical oncology, highlighting the importance of removing tumors entirely along specific planes to achieve true radicality, or R0 resection, and notes that applying this concept to the stomach is challenging due to the complexity of identifying the embryological plane. Prof. D’Ugo mentions that trials in the East have explored the applicability of this concept, but more evidence is needed in the West to demonstrate its effectiveness. This interview took place at the 44th Congress of the European Society of Surgical Oncology (ESSO 44) in Gothenburg, Sweden.
