Rate of detection of lymph node metastasis is correlated with the depth of submucosal invasion in early stage gastric carcinoma

Gastric carcinoma invading the submucosa is often accompanied by lymph node metastasis. However, the relation between the depth of submucosal invasion and the status of metastasis has not been investigated. The objective of this study was to clarify the relation between lymph node status and the histologic features of gastric carcinoma invading the submucosa.
