Updated evaluation of curability after endoscopic submucosal dissection
eCuraAEn-bloc resection, predominantly differentiated adenocarcinoma, pathological mucosal cancer (pT1a), HM0, VM0, Ly0, V0
UL0 (regardless of size)
UL1, under 3 cm in diameter
If size of undifferentiated component is > 2 cm, tumor is diagnosed as eCuraC-2
eCuraBEn-bloc resection, HM0, VM0, Ly0, V0
UL0, under 2 cm in diameter, predominantly undifferentiated adenocarcinoma, pathological mucosal cancer (pT1a)
UL1, under 3 cm in diameter, predominantly differentiated adenocarcinoma, pathological submucosal cancer within 500 µm (pT1b1)
If there is an undifferentiated component in the submucosal layer, tumor is diagnosed as eCuraC-2
eCuraC-1Lesion meeting criteria of eCuraA or eCuraB except with positive lateral margin or non–en-bloc resection.
eCuraC-2The lesion meets none of eCuraA, eCuraB, or eCuraC-1
