Updated evaluation of additional surgery versus non-gastrectomy treatment for early gastric cancer after noncurative endoscopic resection: a meta-analysis

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of additional surgery compared to non-gastrectomy treatment after noncurative endoscopic resection for early gastric cancer.
• Conducted a meta-analysis of existing studies on additional surgery and non-gastrectomy treatment
• Analyzed prognostic indicators in both treatment groups
• Focused on patients with early gastric cancer post noncurative endoscopic resection
• Patients receiving additional surgery had significantly greater prognostic indicators
• Indicated better outcomes for those undergoing surgery compared to those receiving non-gastrectomy treatment
