Article Abstract
Background: Endoscopic resection (ER) is considered carefully as a curative treatment option for selected cases of undifferentiated-type early gastric cancer (UEGC). This study investigated immediate endoscopic and long-term survival outcomes of patients with UEGC treated with ER.
Methods: A review of a database of 2483 EGC consecutively enrolled patients who underwent ER between January 2004 and December 2010 identified 101 patients with UEGC who met the expanded indications. Outcomes were investigated in these patients.
Results: The rates of R0 en bloc and curative resection were 86 and 70 %, respectively. Of 30 tumors non-curatively resected, 17 were larger than 20 mm in diameter, 12 had positive resection margins, and 13 had submucosal or lymphovascular invasion on resection pathology. ER-related complications occurred in 12 patients (12 %), with all complications treated endoscopically without surgery. The median ER procedure time was 26 min [interquartile range (IQR) 20-39 min]. Only tumor location in the lower part of the stomach was significantly associated with curative ER (P = 0.038). Tumor recurrence was observed in seven patients at a median 17 months (IQR 12-47 months) after ER. During a median follow-up of 60 months (IQR 48-80 months), the 5-year overall mortality rates were 5 % in the curative and 4 % in the non-curative resection groups (P = 0.927). There were no gastric cancer-related deaths.
Conclusions: ER shows acceptable immediate endoscopic and long-term survival outcomes in selected patients with UEGC.

Unlabelled: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is the technique of choice in the management of early gastric cancer. Recently, it is also considered as an absolute indication in selected cases of early undifferentiated gastric cancer (U-EGC).
Objectives: In the present study, the first documented cases of ESD in patients with U-EGC are presented and analyzed.

Background: Whether endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) applies to undifferentiated-type early gastric cancer (UEGC) remains controversial. We aimed to analyze the risk factors for lymph node metastasis (LNM) in UEGC and evaluate the feasibility of ESD.
Methods: This study included 346 patients with UEGC who underwent curative gastrectomy between January 2014 and December 2021.

Background: The most important consideration in determining treatment strategies for undifferentiated early gastric cancer (UEGC) is the risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM). Therefore, identifying a potential biomarker that predicts LNM is quite useful in determining treatment.
Aim: To develop a machine learning (ML)-based integral procedure to construct the LNM gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) prediction model.

Purpose: Total or proximal gastrectomy of the upper-third early gastric cancer (u-EGC) often causes severe post-gastrectomy syndrome, suggesting that these procedures are extremely invasive for patients without pathologically positive lymph node (LN) metastasis. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical applicability of a stomach function-preserving surgery, local resection (LR), with prophylactic left gastric artery (LGA)-basin dissection (LGA-BD).
Materials And Methods: The data of patients with u-EGC (pathologically diagnosed as T1) were retrospectively analyzed.

This study evaluated the impact of a new intracorporeal π-shaped esophagojejunostomy (EJS) and double-tract reconstruction (DTR) in totally laparoscopic and totally robotic proximal gastrectomy (TLPG or TRPG) for treating upper third early gastric cancer (U-EGC) in terms of intraoperative and short-term postoperative outcomes. Early proximal gastric cancer patients were identified based on a prospectively established database. From January 2017 to December 2018, these patients underwent intracorporeal π-shaped EJS and DTR after totally laparoscopic (n = 8) or robotic (n = 4) proximal gastrectomy (PG).
