Core Tip	Advances in molecular diagnostic tools have allowed the identification of lymph node micrometastasis in cancer patients. Minimally invasive treatments, such as endoscopic submucosal dissection and laparoscopic surgery, are widely performed to help improve postsurgical quality of life (QOL). However, it is important to maintain the balance between QOL and curability.
