Zusammenfassung:	Abstract Aims We conducted a retrospective case–control study to compare the prognostic differences of lymph node-positive gastric cancer patients between dissected lymph nodes (DLNs) < 15 group and DLNs ≥ 15 group. Methods A retrospective study of 323 lymph node-positive gastric patients who underwent potentially curative resection for gastric cancer was analyzed to identify the prognostic differences between DLNs < 15 group and DLNs ≥ 15 group. Of these patients, 49 patients with
