Lower cancers and those located in the middle, where it is possible to achieve a 5-cm proximal margin, are best treated with a distal subtotal gastrectomy.1 Given its retrospective nature, our study (which encompass a long period of time) also includes a group of patients with antral cancer who underwent, during the early years of our experience, the so-called de principe TG, which was subsequently abandoned.
