Endoscopic full-thickness resection for early gastric cancer: a multicenter retrospective study from the National Early Gastrointestinal Cancer Cohort (NEGCC)
EFTR is a feasible, minimally invasive strategy for EGC, offering high technical success and R0 resection rates. For lesions with potential lymph node metastasis, limited nodal dissection preserves gastric function while maintaining oncological safety. Although sample size and follow-up were limited, this study underscores EFTR's potential to expand individualized EGC treatment, warranting further prospective research for long-term validation. Longer-term oncologic outcomes remain to be elucidated and standard practice.
