Endoscopic resection (ER) of undifferentiated-type early gastric cancer (UD-EGC) has a lower curative resection (CR) rate than differentiated-type EGC. However, if UD-EGC is curatively resected using ER, long-term outcomes can be favorable. Thus, the strategy for CR by ER is important in UD-EGC. To achieve CR in UD-EGC, biological behaviors including tumor growth patterns must be considered. This review aims to describe what is important for curative ER of UD-EGC.
未分化型早期胃癌(UD-EGC)的内镜切除术(ER)的根治性切除(CR)率低于分化型早期胃癌。然而,如果采用ER对UD-EGC进行根治性切除,长期预后可能良好。因此,ER实现CR的策略在UD-EGC中很重要。为了在UD-EGC中实现CR,必须考虑包括肿瘤生长模式在内的生物学行为。本综述旨在描述UD-EGC根治性ER的要点。
