omental preservation for radical gastrectomy in gastric cancer — 3- and 5-year survival rates were 77.9% (range 69.5–86.3) and 66.6% (range 57.0–76.2) in the omental resection cohort and 89.3% (82.6–96.0) and 79.6% (68.2–91.0) in the omental preservation cohort — despite a difference in overall survival (OS), it did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.051); the difference in relapse-free survival (RFS) was not significant irrespective of T stage (T3 or T4) ( p = 0.915).
