Summary

Early gastric cancer (EGC) is rare, representing 3.5% of stomach cancers. EGC shows distinct symptoms and pathology, with an 82% 5-year survival rate and no recurrence observed within 5 years post-surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Early gastric cancer (EGC) is a subset of gastric adenocarcinoma.
  • EGC diagnosis is infrequent, accounting for only 3.5% of all stomach cancer cases.
  • EGC presents with symptoms mimicking benign peptic ulcer disease, differing from invasive gastric cancer.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the clinical characteristics and outcomes of early gastric cancer.
  • To compare the pathology and morphology of EGC with findings from Japanese research.
  • To evaluate the long-term prognosis and recurrence rates for EGC patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 18 EGC cases managed over 14 years.
  • Pathological examination of resected lesions.
  • Follow-up assessment for patient survival and recurrence.

Main Results:

  • Eighteen cases of EGC were identified, constituting 3.5% of gastric adenocarcinoma diagnoses.
  • EGC lesions exhibited morphology consistent with Japanese findings.
  • The 5-year survival rate was 82%, with no observed recurrence within 5 years post-surgery.

Conclusions:

  • EGC is a distinct clinicopathological entity with a favorable prognosis.
  • The biological behavior of EGC aligns with observations from Japanese studies.
  • Early detection and surgical management of EGC lead to high survival rates and low recurrence.
