Popis: To investigate whether endoscopic treatment is applicable to American patients and explores the predictors of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in early gastric cancer (EGC).Patients with EGC confined to either mucosa (T1a,EGC limited to T1a exhibited a 2.4% incidence of LNM, which increased to 11.1% when the depth invaded T1b.LNM was present at 1.4%, 5.2%, and 5.0% for sizes ≤2, 2-5, and5cm of low-grade T1a EGC, respectively, (Endoscopic treatment may only be suitable for patients in the US population who have low-grade T1a lesions of less than 2 cm in size. Patients with T1a lesions of greater than 2 cm in size, lesions with high-grade, and all T1b lesions may benefit from radical surgical resection with lymphadenectomy.
