Core Tip

Core Tip: Post-endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) gastric cancer recurrence in patients with early gastric cancer has become increasingly non-ignorable with the global popularization of ESD technology and the increasing number of post-ESD patients. A combination approach, including endoscopic techniques, radiographic examinations, predictive biological markers, and machine learning-based prediction models, should be recommended in the individualized surveillance and management of gastric cancer recurrence after ESD.
