Most important diagnostic tests are serial endoscopies and multipl biopsies. Only treatment is total resection. Surgical procedure for antral tumors is subtotal gastrectomy and for the tumors placed at corpus and cardia total gastrectomy. Multifocal tumors are treated with total gastrectomy independent of their localisations. Radical lymph node dissection must be done for every patient with N2 disease. But, in small tumors limited to mucosa and type IIa tumors limited lymph node dissection (D1) is required. After D2 dissection for patients that lymph node (-), survey is excellent. For older and high risk patients noninvzsive surgical procedures (laser, endoscopic mucosal resection, laparoscopic wedge resection) can be choosen alternatively.Turkishcancer diagnosiscancer patientcancer stagingcancer surgeryendoscopic surgerygastrectomygastroscopyhigh risk patienthumanlaparoscopic surgerylaser surgerylymph node dissectionreviewstomach adenocarcinomastomach antrumstomach biopsystomach mucosasurgical techniqueReview
