Intramucosal Alpha-Fetoprotein-producing Early Gastric Cancer Without Vascular Invasion or Metastasis Diagnosed After Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection: A Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]
DEN OpenABSTRACT Alpha‐fetoprotein‐producing gastric cancer (AFPGC) is a rare histological subtype of gastric cancer that is often diagnosed at an advanced stage. In the present case, an elevated lesion was detected in the gastric antrum during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy screening and diagnosed as early gastric cancer of cT1a.
