Abstract

Treatment for early gastric cancer is carried out with maximum tissue preservation so that the patient may lead a normal life after the definite treatment. Endoscopic mucosal resection is one such step. Handling of such resected specimen at grossing is of utmost importance for proper and complete reporting.
