| Core Tip |
Controversies regarding proposed expansions of the indication for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer (EGC) with undifferentiated-type histology still remain. In this meta-analysis, ESD is a technically feasible treatment modality for EGC with undifferentiated-type histology. However, cautious interpretation is needed because of heterogeneity among studies. Inconsistent implementation of indication, insufficient follow-up duration, and different outcome criteria are causes of heterogeneity. Further studies using common primary outcomes or large-scale, long-term studies will elucidate the feasibility of ESD for EGC with undifferentiated-type histology. |
