Question 290 · LEK · Gastric cancer
Select true statement(s) about treatment of gastric cancer:
1) in some cases of early gastric cancer, endoscopic mucosal resection can be performed;
2) in the case of multifocal lesions or lesions located close to the stomach cardia, total gastrectomy should be performed;
3) in the case of stomach cancer limited to 1/3 of the distal part of the stomach, near-total gastrectomy should be performed;
4) regardless of lesion location, total gastrectomy should be performed to minimise the risk of metastasis;
5) the extent of surgery is based on the surgeon’s experience and knowledge, and lesion location is not taken into consideration.
