Efficacy comparison between endoscopic resection and tradition surgery in the treatment of early gastric cancer / 中华胃肠外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Endoscopic resection (ER) has been a preferred treatment for early gastric cancer (EGC) based on the guidelines. In recent years the technique is developing rapidly. Surgical operation, a traditional treatment, still has its advantages such as complete tumor removal and low recurrence rate. In this review, a long-term outcome comparison of these two methods in EGC is discussed.
