Abstract：
:Although common in Japan, early gastric cancer is rarely seen in Western countries and generally accounts for only 7 to 10 percent of all gastric malignancies. Eleven patients with early gastric cancer seen over a 10 year period have been reviewed for clinical and pathologic features, method of diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. The symptoms usually consisted of vague epigastric pain or dyspepsia, but anorexia, weight loss, anemia, and hypoalbuminemia were not commonly seen. Barium meal examination was not helpful in the diagnosis in 50 percent of the patients. The diagnosis was made by endoscopic biopsy of abnormal areas of the stomach, although in 6 of 11 patients, there was no macroscopic suspicion of malignancy. All patients were treated by surgical resection. The tumor was confined to the mucosa in five patients and had infiltrated the submucosa in six patients. The lymph nodes were free of tumor in every patient. At last follow-up, seven patients had survived more than 5 years after operation and were well, although recurrent tumors developed in two patients 3 and 4 years postoperatively but were detected early by endoscopic surveillance. Early gastric cancer has a good prognosis after surgical resection, but the symptoms are vague and the diagnostic tests can be misleading. A vigorous approach to investigation, treatment, and follow-up is necessary to achieve satisfactory results.
