淋巴结转移是确定早期胃癌病人预后的最重要因素，其与癌细胞的粘膜下侵犯明显相关，但淋巴结转移状况与粘膜下侵入深度的关联尚不明了。兹报告这方面的研究结果。研究对象是118例侵入粘膜下的胃腺癌病人（均已接受治愈性切除术）。对肿瘤大小、粘膜下侵犯深度、组织学及肉眼分 Lymph node metastasis is the most important factor to determine the prognosis of patients with early gastric cancer, and it is closely related to submucosal invasion of cancer cells. However, the relationship between lymph node metastasis and submucosal invasion depth is not clear. We report the findings of this study. The subjects were 118 gastric adenocarcinoma patients who invaded the submucosa (all undergoing curative resection). The size of the tumor, the depth of submucosal invasion, histology and macroscopic points
