Reply to: Reevaluating Surgical Margins in Gastric Cancer: Addressing the Impact of Close Resection Margins and BMI Classification on Prognosis

We deeply appreciate the insightful comments provided by the authors in the Letter to the Editor regarding our previous study entitled "Prognostic effect of microscopically negative but close resection margin in gastric cancer". 1 Park J.Y.

This retrospective analysis evaluates the impact of close resection margins (CRM) on recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in gastric cancer patients, providing critical clinical insights for surgical margin management in gastric cancer. We greatly appreciate the authors' work and believe that further discussion on certain aspects could enhance the comprehensiveness and clinical applicability of the study. Full-Text PDF
