Core Tip	Currently, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) have become accepted for treatment of gastric cancer and increasingly played important roles on the treatments of gastric cancer in Japan.

We herein describe the circumstance of ESD and LG for gastric cancer in Japan based on reports using Japanese administrative database associated in the DPC system in this review.
