Core Tip Preoperative-pathologic discordance is a common and clinically important issue in early gastric cancer management. Clinicians should recognize high-risk features early and escalate diagnostic evaluation when appropriate to preserve organ-sparing treatment options. The use of enhanced diagnostic techniques, such as targeted biopsies, virtual chromoendoscopy, and endoscopic ultrasonography, can significantly improve staging accuracy and help guide better treatment decisions, ultimately reducing unnecessary surgeries.
