Special Issue Information
In this Special Issue of Cancers, entitled “Early Gastric Cancer”, current knowledge and aspects of early gastric cancer will be addressed. This Special Issue will focus on function-preserving techniques, lymph node dissection, and new minimally invasive techniques. Regarding function preservation, different aspects of several function-preserving gastrectomies will be discussed, such as laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with double tract reconstruction. In addition, new oncologic techniques for lymphadenectomy, such as sentinel node navigation surgery in combination with minimally invasive surgery, and the evidence for a D2 versus a D3 dissection for advanced gastric cancer will be evaluated. Furthermore, new minimally invasive, hybrid, and endoscopic techniques, such as combining surgery and endoscopy in non-exposed endoscopic wall-inversion surgery, will be discussed.
