Abstract: | Histologically differentiated adenocarcinoma satisfies one of the criteria for limited surgery for mucosal carcinoma of the stomach: however, the histology of the endoscopic biopsy specimen is often different from that of the resected specimen. The medical records of 1018 early gastric carcinomas were retrospectively analyzed to investigate the relation between the histologies of biopsy and resected specimens. Regression analysis showed that the histologies of biopsy specimens were significantly related to those of resected specimens (r = 0.677, n = 5, p = 0.0288) for the mucosal carcinomas, but their relation was not significant for the submucosal carcinomas (r = 0.677, n = 5, p = 0.2091). By analyzing the 344 differentiated mucosal carcinomas, moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinomas were seen to be frequently less differentiated at resection. The histology of the biopsy specimens from mucosal carcinoma of the stomach grossly satisfies one of the criteria for limited surgery, but moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma may not be suitable for this treatment. |
