This single-arm, multi-center study enroll early gastric cancer patients after ESD compared with the retrospective control(surgical treatment) group considering the unreality of the randomized clinical trials. In addition, the quality of life assessment by the EORTC C30/STO22 tools before and after ESD procedure in enrolled patients will be performed and the direct cost analysis also will be conducted.
