Brief Summary: Gastric cancer remains the second most common cancer worldwideAlthough the prognosis is poor for majority of patients long term survival is achievable in patients in whom surgical resection is possible

However the results of surgery are generally disapointing in most large seriesThe exception to this appears to be Japan and far east where a standardized approach to surgery is undertaken with low morbidity and mortalityThe extent of surgery and particularly the development of systematic lymphadenectomyD2has been credited in Japan for the improved outcome in patients with gastric cancer

Hence for comparing the difference between D1 and D2 lymphadenectomy for gastric cancer in terms of overall survivaldisease free survival and loco regional recurrence and also post operative morbidity and mortality following both these proceduresthis study has been undertaken

In D1 lymphadenectomy only those lymph nodes which are adjacent to the part of stomach being resected will be removedIn D2 lymphadenectomy other lymph nodes draining the stomach will also be removed according to internationally accepted guidelines and also include resection of greater omentum along with anterior layer of transverse mesocolon and lesser omentum upto its attachment to hepatoduodenal ligament

Currently both these procedures are widely practised worldwide and there is no definite evidence showing the superiority of one procedure over the otherNeither is any of these procedures experimental

We are doing this trial to see whether one of these procedures is superior to the other
