Establishment of pathological quantitative method for determining undifferentiated component ratio in patients with differentiated/undifferentiated mixed-type early gastric cancer and clinical significance of this ratio

ConclusionsIn the patients with Mixed-type EGC, the length ratio of undifferentiated components can be a substitute parameter for the UCR. LNM rarely occurs in patients without lymphovascular invasion and with an UCR  <58%. The analysis of the UCR has great significance in determining whether additional surgical resection is required after endoscopic resection.
