BackgroundThe depth of wall invasion is one of the most important prognostic factors in patients with gastric cancers. We hypothesized that the horizontal width of spread of the neoplasm in the subserosal layer correlated with frequency of latent tumor exposure to the subserosal surface in subserosal (ss) gastric cancer.MethodsWe compared retrospectively the relationship between the horizontal width of ss invasion and other clinicopathologic factors in 124 patients with ss cancer confirmed carefully...
