Tu1523 METACHRONOUS CANCER AFTER ENDOSCOPIC SUBMUCOSAL DISSECTION FOR EARLY GASTRIC CANCER WITH UNDIFFERENTIATED HISTOLOGY: A RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has become a widely accepted as a standard treatment for early gastric cancer (EGC) with differentiated histology. However, therapeutic outcome of ESD for undifferentiated cancer is still controversial. As ESD is a technique that leaves the at-risk native stomach, patients with EGC who have previously underwent ESD have the potential to develop metachronous gastric cancer (MGC). Given evidence has demonstrated that the cumulative incidence of MGC after endoscopic resection is not negligibly low.
