Abstract excerpt
The technique of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been developed for en bloc resection of early gastric cancer (EGC); however, little is known about the risk of metachronous cancer in the remnant stomach after initial ESD. In this study, we investigated the correlation between microsatellite instability (MSI) status and the incidence of metachronous recurrence of gastric cancer. According to the...
