Abstract

We should pay particular attention to unrecognizable intramucosal spread, especially in markedly atrophied mucosa, when treating small diffuse-type mucosal gastric cancer by local resections such as endoscopic mucosal resection. In addition, because of unrecognizable intramucosal spread, a surgical incision margin of at least 10 mm from the macroscopic margin is indicated.
