The clinicopathological study of lymph node metastases has been carried out on 146 cases of early gastric cancer operated at Kitasato University Hospital during the period of six years since August 1971. 1) The rate of metastases was 9.0% in all early gastric cancers (1.7% in the depth m and 14.0% in the depth sm). 2) The higher rate of metastasis was observed in the depressed type of cancers (II_c) larger than 4cm in diameter, especially those associated with ulcerations (II_c+III). 3) The lower rate of metastasis was seen in the superficial elevated type (II_a), the depressed type of cancer less than 2cm in diameter and well differentiated adenocarcinoma (tub_1). 4) Both the site of cancer and the histological types except tub_1 were not significantly varied in tendency to metastasize. 5) We conclude that if we know the macroscopical type, size and the histological type for a given early cancer, we can predict its probability of metastasizing.
