Endoscopic Mucosal Resection for Early Gastric Cancer National Cancer Center Hospital
【摘要】:正Endoscopic mucosal resection(EMR)is widely accepted in Japan as a curative treatment for early gastric cancer (EGC),which has low probability of lymph nodes metastasis.Then,the standard EMR indication for EGC is defined generally as follows:(1)intestinal cancer,(2)superficial cancer less than 20 mm in size,and(3)mucosal cancer without ulcerative findings.Considering quality of life after surgery,however,the expansion of EMR indication to EGC should be discussed.
