Description
Summary:Whether high body mass index (BMI) was associated with increased postoperative complications and unfavorable prognosis of gastric cancer (GC) patients remain controversial. In the present study, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the impact of high BMI on surgical outcome, postoperative complications and long-term survival of GC patients. The related studies were identified by searching PubMed and Embase databases. According to the BMI, all GC patients were classified into BMI ≥25 kg/m2 group and BMI
