Abnormal vitamin metabolism after gastric surgery for gastric cancer has been reported over the past 20 years. Castle factor deficiency after gastrectomy causes malabsorption of vitamin B12. The need for prophylaxis and treatment of vitamin B12 deficiency after gastrectomy is widely acknowledged by surgeons [1]. Fat malabsorption after gastrectomy for gastric cancer has already been documented [2], suggesting potential malabsorption of fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin D (VD), vitamin A (VA), and vitamin E (VE) after operation. However, most surgeons are unaware of changes in VD, VA, and VE after gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
