Clinical predictors of histological type of gastric cancer

Gastric cancer is classified into differentiated and undifferentiated types according to the degree of glandular differentiation. Undifferentiated-type early gastric cancer (EGC) carries a higher risk of lymph node metastasis than differentiated type, and the indication criteria for endoscopic resection thus differ. This study aimed to clarify the diagnostic abilities of clinical predictors to distinguish between differentiated-type and undifferentiated-type EGCs.
