Core Tip

Core Tip: We propose a new method of combining endoscopic local lesion resection and laparoscopic lymph node dissection for 2 cases of advanced T2 gastric cancer (GC). This new method has the advantages of precision and being minimally invasive with similar outcomes as surgical resection. It is a novel method providing a minimally invasive treatment option for T2 GC.
