We conducted a retrospective study on 711 patients with early gastric cancer. Twenty-two patients (4.0%) developed recurrent disease and 21 died of recurrence during this study. One hundred and sixty-three patients died of unrelated or unknown causes. The recurrence patterns of 22 patients were as follows: hematogeneous metastasis to the liver in 11 patients, peritoneal dissemination in 3, recurrence in the remnant stomach in 3, and in the distant lymphonodes in 1. The mean survival period of patients with recurrent disease was 50.4 months, and 7 of these patients (31.8%) died more than 5 years after surgery. A retrospective clinicopathologic evaluation of the 22 patients and 526 patients without recurrence revealed significant differences between the two groups with respect to mean age at the time of surgery (62.5 years in the recurrent group vs 57.3 years in the nonrecurrent group), tumor size (41.2 vs 30.6 mm), depth of invasion (submucosal cancer: 19 vs 256), lymphnode metastasis (11 vs 48), lymphatic (11 vs 89) and venous (7 vs 18) invasion, and operative curability (curability B: 8 vs 48). Three patients with intramucosal cancer who died of hematogenous and/or peritoneal recurrence within 7 years after surgery had neither lymphnode metastasis nor lymphatic or venous invasion, suggesting that new techniques are needed for prediction of recurrent disease in patient with early gastric cancer.
