摘      要：AIM: To predict the rate of lymph node(LN) metastasis in diffuse- and mixed-type early gastric cancers(EGC) for guidelines of the ***: We reviewed 550 cases of EGC withdiffuse- and mixed-type histology. We investigated the clinicopathological factors and histopathological components that influence the probability of LN metastasis, including sex, age, site, gross type, presence of ulceration, tumour size, depth of invasion, perineural invasion, lymphovascular invasion, and LN metastasis status. We reviewed all slides and estimated the proportions of each tumour component; pure diffuse type, mixed-predominantly diffuse type(diffuse intestinal type), mixed-predominantly intestinal type(intestinal diffuse type), and mixed diffuse = intestinal type. We calculated the extents of the respective ***: LN metastasis was observed in 12.9%(71/550) of early gastric cancers cases [15/288 mucosal EGCs(5.2%) and 56/262 submucosal EGCs(21.4%)]. Of 550 cases, 302 were diffuse-type and 248 were mixed-type EGCs. Of 248 mixed-type EGCs, 163 were mixed-predominantly diffuse type, 82 were mixed-predominantly intestinal type, and 3 were mixed diffuse = intestinal type. Mixed-type cases with predominantly diffuse type histology showed a higher frequency of LN metastasis(20.2%) than cases of pure diffuse type(9.3%) and predominantly intestinal type(12.2%) histology. We measured the dimensions of each component(intestinal and diffuse type) to determine the association of the extent of each component with LN metastasis in mixed-type gastric carcinoma. The total tumour size and the extent of poorly differentiated components was associated with LN metastasis, while that of signet ring cell components was ***: We recommend careful identification and quantitative evaluation of mixed-type early gastric cancer components after endoscopic resection to determine the intensity of the treatment.
