Long-term outcomes of additional surgery versus non-gastrectomy treatment for early gastric cancer after non-curative endoscopic submucosal dissection: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Endoscopic resection is increasingly used in the treatment for early gastric cancer (EGC); however, about 15% of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) cases report non-curative resection. The efficacy of different remedial interventions after non-curative ESD for EGC remains controversial. This meta-analysis aimed to compare the long-term outcomes of additional surgery and non-gastrectomy treatment for EGC patients who underwent non-curative ESD.

Methods

All relevant studies published up to October 2021 were systematically searched in the PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases. The medical subject headings terms "early gastric cancer," "gastrectomy," "endoscopic submucosal dissection," and their related free keywords were used to search relevant articles wi
