Tu1509 PRE-PROCEDURAL FEATURES FOR PREDICTING THE RISK OF LYMPH NODE METASTASIS IN GASTRIC CANCER

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a curative method for some cases of early gastric cancer (EGC). However, there are still some patients who underwent additive gastrectomy after ESD because of lymph node metastasis (LNM) risk. If an accurate predicting for the risk of LNM before ESD is possible, appropriate treatment strategy could be established at the timing of decision for ESD. We aimed to investigate pre-procedural features for predicting the risk of LNM in EGC.
