[Increases in the modified surgery in early cancers].
Early cancers are small in size and localized; many of them have no infiltration or metastasis. It has been gradually clarified what procedure of reduced operation can be feasible without fail to its radicalness to what type of early cancer, as a result of detailed studies on the findings concerning the development of early cancers as well as evaluations of recurrent cases and distant results. Techniques of reduced operation for the treatment of cancers of the thyroid, mammary glands, female reproductive organs and stomach have been improved as early cancer patients increase in number and our understanding of the pathogenesis of early cancers is promoted.
