Logistic regression analyses were used to clarify the correlation between No. 12a involvement and clinicopathologic characteristics. Eighty\u2010nine patients (66% males) with a mean age of 58.86\u2009\u00b1\u200913.06\u2009years were included. The upper third of the stomach was the most common tumor site (43.8%). neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) was administered to 77 patients (86.5%). Total gastrectomy was the most common surgical procedure (67.4%), and 49.4% of tumors were poorly differentiated. Ten patients (11.24%) had 12a LN metastasis. Patients with 12a LN involvement exhibited greater number of harvested LNs in other stations (28.5[27\u201339.25] vs. 25[21\u201330],\n                      <jats:italic>p\u2009=<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u20090.024) and a higher presence of LN involvement in other stations (22[11\u201332] vs. 0[0\u20134],\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that the number of harvested other nodes (OR: 1.11[1.02\u20131.21]), number of involved other nodes (1.23[1.11\u20131.37]), omental involvement (OR: 10.86[1.84\u201364.24.57]), lymphovascular invasion (6.90[1.37\u201334.70]), and perineuronal invasion (OR: 6.16[1.23\u201331.11]) were significantly associated with No. 12a station metastasis. However, in multivariate logistic regression, only the number of involved other nodes showed a significant association with No. 12a station metastasis (OR: 1.30[1.09\u20131.55]). There was no difference between patients who received NAC and who did not in terms of No. 12a involvement (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      value\u2009=\u20090.61).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among clinicopathologic risk factors, involvement of other lymph node stations was significantly associated with No. 12a lymph node metastasis.
