Multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment of undifferentiated gastric cancer with a specific morphology: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Due to ongoing research on digestive endoscopy, early gastric cancer has become a popular topic. Based on macro-research on morphology using the Paris endoscopic classification system and micro-explorations of histopathology under endoscopy, several researchers have organically combined endoscopy with pathology and surgery. This multidisciplinary combination of digestive endoscopy could improve the diagnosis rate and cure rate of early gastric cancer.
