Abstract: Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in China, and with the popularity of gastroscopy in recent years, the proportion of early gastric cancer is increasing gradually. Through standardized endoscopic and/or surgical treatment, patients with early gastric cancer usually have a favorable prognosis, which will inevitably lead to higher demands for postoperative quality of life. Based on this situation, function-preserving gastrectomy (FPG) has become a focus in the treatment of early gastric cancer for the purpose of improving the quality of life. The "Chinese expert consensus on function-preserving gastrectomy for early gastric cancer (2021)" will guide surgeons to perform standardized FPG, and ensure the maximum quality of life for the patients.
