Low Incidence of Synchronous or Metachronous Tumors after Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Early Gastric Cancer with Undifferentiated Histology.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gastric cancer with undifferentiated histology has different clinicopathologic characteristics compared to differentiated type gastric cancer. We aimed to compare the risk of synchronous or metachronous tumors after curative resection of early gastric cancer (EGC) via endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), according to the histologic differentiation of the primary lesion.

Methods

Clinicopathological data of patients with initial-onset EGC curatively resected via ESD between January 2007 and November 2014 in a single institution were reviewed. We analyzed the incidence of synchronous or metachronous tumors after ESD with special reference to the differentiation status of the primary lesion.

Results

Of 1,560 patients with EGC who underwent curative resection
