Early gastric cancer is defined as cancerous foci that are confined to the mucosa or submucosal layer,regardless of the size of the lesion and the presence or absence of lymph node metastasis.Studies have confirmed that lymph node metastasis is an independent prognostic factor for early gastric cancer,and has important clinical significance for assessing the prognosis of early gastric cancer patients and guiding treatment.There are many methods for assessing lymph node metastasis in the early gastric cancer.CT and ultrasound endoscopy are often used to evaluate lymph node metastasis in the early gastric cancer.In addition,pathological biopsy,molecular markers,and sentinel lymph node tracking biopsy are also used in the early gastric cancer.It plays an important role in the evaluation of this disease.This article reviews the current status of assessment methods for lymph node metastasis in the early gastric cancer.
