topics: What is early gastric cancer?
It is the cancer that is confined
to the mucosa or submucosa regardless of the presence of lymph node metastases
when do we do subtotal and total gastrectomy
?
The selection of the surgical procedure in patients with gastric cancer should be primarily adjusted to the location
of the tumor, the growth pattern seen on biopsy specimens, and the expected location of lymph node metastases.
Total gastrectomy
is recommended if the biopsy shows a diffuse carcinoma.
For distal-third gastric cancer, patients may undergo subtotal
gastrectomy if biopsy reveals intestinal type of adenocarcinoma
You are absolutely right....
Thank you for trying
