    Summary

    Early gastric cancer (EGC) offers a high survival rate if diagnosed promptly. Early detection in the Netherlands is possible with optimal radiological and gastroscopic examinations for persistent abdominal complaints.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Gastric cancer is a leading cause of mortality in the Netherlands.
    • Prognosis for gastric cancer is often poor upon diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To define early gastric cancer (EGC) as cancer confined to the submucosa.
    • To highlight diagnostic methods for EGC in the Netherlands.
    • To present personal observations in ten cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Optimal radiological examination for persistent upper abdominal complaints.
    • Gastroscopic examination and biopsies for suspicious or persistent findings.
    • Review of ten patient cases.

    Main Results:

    • Early gastric cancer (EGC) has a 5-year survival rate of 90% or more.
    • Timely diagnosis is achievable through specific radiological and endoscopic procedures.
    • Ten cases were observed and are presented.

    Conclusions:

    • Prompt diagnosis of early gastric cancer is crucial for improving patient survival.
    • A systematic diagnostic approach involving radiology and gastroscopy is effective.
    • Early gastric cancer represents a treatable stage of gastric carcinoma.
