1/ There is a confusion between early vs advanced cancer & Superficial vs Deep Ca
👉 Early Ca-Invasion depth to submucosa only, irrespective of nodal status
👉 Advanced Ca- invasion beyond submucosa with regional nodes or distant metastasis #GITwitter#MedTwitter#Gastroresidents2/ Superficial lesions- those that are believed to be endoscopically resectable
Deep lesions- those that are deemed “too deep” to be scooped, and thus endoscopically unresectable
