摘要
Gastric cancer ranks the second leading cause of cancer-specific mortality worldwide. With a poor prognosis, 5-year survival rate of gastric cancer is less than 20%-25%in the USA, Europe, and China . However, early gastric cancer(EGC) offers an excellent (over 90%) chance of cure based on surgical resection . As the increasing detection of EGC, more treatment options have been developed both curatively and minimally invasively to maintain a good quality of life(QOL). One of the advanced therapeutic techniques is endoscopic dissection. Improvements in surgical treatment include minimizing lymph node dissection, reconstruction methods, laparoscopy-assisted surgery, and sentinel node navigation surgery(SNNS) . With technological advances, even Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopy Surgery (NOTES) and robotic surgery are expected to represent the next revolution . However, there still remains much dispute among these treatments, which arouses further clinical trials to verify. Update of the treatments, controversial indications, prognosis and current strategies for EGC are discussed in this review.
