Measurement of tumor volume is not superior to diameter for prediction of lymph node metastasis in early gastric cancer with minute submucosal invasion.

Abstract
:

The current indication for endoscopic resection in early gastric cancer (EGC) with minute (< 500 µm) submucosal invasion is based on tumor diameter, which may be insufficient to predict lymph node metastasis (LNM). We investigated whether tumor volume might more accurately predict LNM in EGC with minute submucosal invasion.
