Endoscopic resection (ER) of early gastric cancer (EGC) has been an optimal treatment for selected patients. As endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been widely used for treatment of EGC, concerns have been asked to achieve curative resection for EGC while guaranteeing precise prediction of lymph node metastasis (LNM). Moreover, a new microscopic imaging for precise endoscopic diagnosis of EGC is introduced. This review covers the current status and new approaches of ER of EGC.
早期胃癌（EGC）的内镜切除术（ER）一直是部分患者的最佳治疗方法。随着内镜黏膜下剥离术（ESD）被广泛应用于EGC的治疗，人们开始关注在保证准确预测淋巴结转移（LNM）的同时，实现EGC的根治性切除。此外，一种用于EGC精确内镜诊断的新型显微成像技术也被引入。本文综述了EGC内镜切除术的现状和新方法。
