Popis: National guidelines endorse adjuvant chemotherapy ± radiotherapy (C ± RT) for early-stage gastric cancer (ESGC). Compliance with these guidelines and the specific impact of adjuvant C ± RT on overall survival (OS) in ESGC have not been extensively explored. The National Cancer Data Base was queried for stage IB-II gastric adenocarcinoma patients undergoing gastrectomy (1998–2011). Multivariable modeling identified factors associated with adjuvant C ± RT receipt and compared risk-adjusted OS by treatment type (i.e., adjuvant therapy versus surgery alone). Of 23,461 ESGC patients (1998–2011), 79.4 % and 20.6 % received surgery alone and adjuvant C ± RT (chemoradiotherapy 17.7 %; chemotherapy alone 2.9 %), respectively. Predictors of adjuvant C ± RT receipt included age
