AIM: To study the difference of tumor size between endoscopic estimation and postoperative patholoigical measurement in early stage of gastric carcinoma.
METHODS: The size of lesion was estimated by biopsy forceps at endoscopy and by postoperative pathological measurement in 118 patients with early gastric cancer. The correlation between clinicopathological features and measuring errors were analyzed.
RESULTS: Through two different ways of measurement, there was coincidence in 26 of 118 cases (22.0%), and unconformity in 92 of 118 cases (77.9%). The size estimated by biopsy forceps at endoscopy was smaller than by postoperative pathological measurement. In histological study, the measuring error rate was higher in the lowly-differentiated type than that in the highly-differentiated type.
CONCLUSION: There were significant measuring errors in tumor size between endoscopic estimation and pathological measurement in depressed and lowly-differentiated type. The tumor size was smaller in endoscopic estimation than that in the postoperative pathological measurement. This measuring error may be associated with the biological feature of gastric cancer, except the experiences of endoscopists.

胃癌间质血管的病理改变是肿瘤发生、发展的重要因素[13,21]. Yao et al[14]报道大多数分化型胃癌黏膜与周围组织相比血管分布相同或较多, 而大多数低分化型胃癌黏膜与周围组织相比血管分布较少. 由于血管分布无规律性, 这就使得低分化型胃癌细胞在生长时需依靠其周围黏膜和黏膜下血供向深部及四周浸润生长. 癌细胞生长的这种无序性[15-19]及深部浸润性[20,22,23], 使得凹陷型病变在内镜肉眼下观察及采用活检钳法对范围进行估测时易于产生误差.
