- Abstract
Endoscopic resection (ER) has been widely accepted in Japan as a less invasive treatment for early gastric cancer, but the incidence of subsequent metachronous gastric cancer (MGC) and the appropriate endoscopic follow-up interval after ER have not been determined as yet. In this study, we investigated the incidence of MGC after ER and assessed our annual endoscopic surveillance program after ER.
