Clinical outcomes of non-curative endoscopic submucosal dissection with negative resected margins for gastric cancer

摘要

Background and Aims: There has been little information about the long-term outcomes of patients with early gastric cancer (EGC) treated by non-curative endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) with negative resected margins (R0 resection). We aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of non-curative ESD with R0 resection between patients who underwent additional gastrectomy and those who did not.
