| Core Tip |
With the increasingly expanded indications of endoscopic resection for early gastric cancer (EGC), the accurate diagnosis of the invasion depth has become more important in the pretreatment strategy. Although there have been many investigations comparing the efficacy of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and conventional endoscopy (CE) for invasion depth diagnosis of EGCs, much controversy remains. Our results revealed that there is no need to perform EUS for EGCs that are protruded type or those that have an ulcer scar, but EUS may have an add-on effect in the pretreatment staging of differentiated-type EGCs diagnosed as SM2 (submucosal invasion ≥ 500 μm) and undifferentiated-type EGCs diagnosed by CE as meeting the expanded-indication criteria for endoscopic resection.
