What is A prospective study of endoscopic treatment for early gastric cancer in Japan: An interim report about?

**Background**: This prospective study was designed to clarify the present status and problems inherent in endoscopic treatment of early gastric cancer by endoscopic mucosal resection and other modalities in Japan and to investigate the possibility of extending the indications for endoscopic treatment. **Methods**: A total of 409 patients with early gastric cancer lesions were enrolled in this study. Of these, 219 lesions (182 in group I and 37 in group II) were evaluated. **Results**: Histological evaluation in group I showed that complete resection, relatively incomplete resection, and absolutely incomplete resection were carried out for 103 (56.6%), 20 (11.0%), and 59 (32.4%) lesions, respectively. Surgery was performed for two lesions of the absolutely incomplete resection group. The remaining 180 lesions were followed up with endoscopy after endoscopic treatment. Recurrence occurred in 14 of 57 lesions with absolutely incomplete resection receiving additional endoscopic treatment, while no recurrence was noted in the lesions of the complete resection or relatively incomplete resection group. At present, 175 lesions of group I have been followed up with endoscopy. Histological
