| Core Tip |
The overall survivals (OS) were no significant differences between N1 and N2 cancers or between N3a and N3b cancers of early gastric cancer (EGC). We identified a new metastasis lymph node classification for EGC which consisted of T1N1’ (1-6 metastatic LNs) and T1N2’ (≥ 7 metastatic LNs). The OS of patients in T1N1’ stage was similar to the 8th edition American Joint Committee on Cancer stage IIA disease, while the OS of patients with T1N2’ stages was no significant difference to stage IIB disease. The new TNM staging system has a better predictive ability of OS for EGC. |
