A Retrospective Cohort Study of Factors Influencing Lymph Node Metastasis in Patients With Early Gastric Papillary Adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

High risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in gastric papillary adenocarcinoma causes endoscopists to worry about the suitability of endoscopic resection for early gastric papillary adenocarcinoma (EPAC). We compared risk factors and attempted to establish a scoring system to stratify LNM risk in patients with EPAC.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was performed on 2,513 patients with early gastric carcinoma (EGC) who underwent radical resection in 4 tertiary hospitals in China. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to compare the invasiveness in EPAC and other types of EGC and to evaluate potential factors in predicting LNM risk in EPAC groups.

Results

Three hundred thirty-five patients with EPAC were enrolled in our study, of which 62 patien
