Abstract
The risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in both differentiated- and undifferentiated-type early gastric cancer (EGC) has not been fully evaluated. According to the Japanese Gastric Cancer Treatment Guidelines 2010, for intramucosal differentiated-type EGC with an undifferentiated-type component of >2 cm, endoscopic resection is considered non-curative, and additional surgical treatment is recommended. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of LNM and the feasibility of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for these mixed-histologic-type EGCs.
