Key Words	Early gastric cancer; Conventional endos­copy; Determination of the margin
Core Tip	As many as 20% of differentiated early gastric cancers show unclear margins by using conventional endoscopy. Consideration of the factors associated with unclear margins, such as normal color, presence of components of flat area (0-IIb), a diameter ≥ 21 mm, ulceration, and components of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma in the mucosal surface, may help endoscopists to accurately determine the margins of the lesion.
