Current indications for endoscopic submucosal dissection of early gastric cancer

Figure 2 Indications for pylorus-preserving gastrectomy. For early gastric cancer patients with cT1N0, when the tumor lesion is located at the greater curvature of the gastric body and the distance from the pylorus is more than 4 cm, they are suitable for pylorus-preserving gastrectomy (PPG) surgery. The advantages of PPG include reduced incidence of dumping syndrome and bile reflux due to pyloric resection, as well as better food storage.
