LaboratoryTumor type in Stomach cancer by Macroscopy
Definition
The macroscopic growth pattern is used to classify the tumor type. Early gastric cancer growth patterns are classified using criteria similar to those used in endoscopy, including protruded (Type 0-I), elevated (Type 0-IIa), flat (Type 0-IIb), depressed (Type 0-IIc) or excavated (Type 0-III). Depressed type has a higher risk for increased stage and lymphatic invasion.
