Prognostic Implications of Tumor Differentiation in Clinical T1N0 Gastric Adenocarcinoma.

CONCLUSIONS: Upstaging of clinical T1N0 gastric adenocarcinoma is characterized by higher tumor grade and is mostly a result of a change in T stage. These findings mandate thorough workup in order to identify clinically staged T1N0 patients requiring preoperative chemotherapy. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Upstaging of clinical T1N0 gastric adenocarcinoma is characterized by higher tumor grade and is mostly a result of a change in T stage. These findings mandate thorough workup in order to identify clinically staged T1N0 patients requiring preoperative chemotherapy. PMID: 32969129 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
