Objective To investigate the rule of lymph node metastasis in early gastric cancer (EGC) so as to provide a reasonable treatment. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 118 EGC patients who had been treated from January 2006 to December 2012,and a total of 8 potential factors associated with occurrence of EGC were evaluated by univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results The univariate analysis showed that ulcer,tumor size,depth of invasion and lymphatic involvement were correlated with lymph node metastasis (P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that presence of an ulcer (OR=2.872),tumor of 3.0 cm or larger than that (OR=2.351),tumor invasion into the submucous layer (OR=3.461) and invasion into the lymphatic tubes (OR=1.784) were found to be independent risk factors. Conclusion Lymph node metastasis of EGC is correlated with many factors,so EGC treatment choice should be made reasonably based on strict screening to exclude various risk factors before taking surgery.
