Characteristics of multiple early gastric cancer and gastric high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia.

ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the clinical characteristics of multiple early gastric cancer (MEGC) and high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN) treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection. The clinical profiles of 23 patients with MEGC treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection from January 2008 to June 2019 at the Fujian Provincial Hospital or Fujian Provincial Hospital South Branch were analyzed. The following information was extracted from clinical records: general data, preoperative conditions, and pathological data of each lesion after surgery. In total, 23 patients with MEGC or HGIN were evaluated (average age 64 ± 6 years, 17 (73.9%) males). MEGC and HGIN accounted for 4.9 percent of all cases, in which 19 (4.1%) were synchronous multiple cancers and 4 (0.8%) cases were metachronous mult
