Assessment of textbook oncologic outcomes following gastrectomy for gastric cancer: 2019 Korean gastric cancer association survey database

CONCLUSION: TOO was achieved in approximately two-thirds of the patients with gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy in Korea. These findings suggest that TOO is a valuable metric for short-term surgical quality in gastric cancer, and may serve as a meaningful tool for outcome evaluation and healthcare quality improvement. Notably, female patients were more likely to achieve TOO, indicating potential biological or systemic differences that warrant further investigation.
