Abstract:
Endoscopic resection is becoming the preferred primary treatment for early gastric cancer with a low incidence of lymph node metastasis. There have been published guidelines and consensus on the standardized endoscopic diagnosis and treatment in recent years. As part of the standardized endoscopic process, risk stratification regarding gastric cancer should be performed prior to gastroscopy. This is followed by a systematic gastroscopic mapping. The pre-malignant mucosal changes should be noted during screening. Chromoendoscopy and Image-Enhanced Endoscopy are recommended to assist the preoperative diagnosis for any suspicious lesion. Indication for endoscopic resection is according to the pathologic findings post biopsy. There are two main goals of a successful endoscopic resection: en bloc resection and negative margins. The final pathological diagnosis should be comprehensive and systematic. Follow-up surveillance or additional surgery should be based on the eCure system.
