eCura

Lymph node metastasis (LNM) was found in only 5–10% of patients with early gastric cancer. The "eCura system" is a scoring system to stratify curability after ESD for early gastric cancer. Five risk factors for LNM were weighted with point values: three points for lymphatic invasion and 1 point each for tumor size >30 mm, positive vertical margin, venous invasion, and submucosal invasion ≥500μm. The patients were categorized into three LNM risk groups: low (0–1 point: 2.5% risk), intermediate (2–4 points: 6.7%), and high (5–7 points: 22.7%).
