The first edition of 'A Standardized Pathology Report for Gastric Cancer' was initiated by the Gastrointestinal Pathology Study Group of the Korean Society of Pathologists and published 17 years ago. Since then, significant advances have been made in the pathologic diagnosis, molecular genetics, and management of gastric cancer (GC). To reflect those changes, a committee for publishing a second edition of the report was formed within the Gastrointestinal Pathology Study Group of the Korean Society of Pathologists. This second edition consists of two parts: standard data elements and conditional data elements. The standard data elements contain the basic pathologic findings and items necessary to predict the prognosis of GC patients, and they are adequate for routine surgical pathology service. Other diagnostic and prognostic factors relevant to adjuvant therapy, including molecular biomarkers, are classified as conditional data elements to allow each pathologist to selectively choose items appropriate to the environment in their institution. We trust that the standardized pathology report will be helpful for GC diagnosis and facilitate large-scale multidisciplinary collaborative studies.

胃癌标准化病理报告：第 2 版。

第一版“胃癌标准化病理报告”由韩国病理学会胃肠道病理学研究组发起，17 年前出版。从那时起，胃癌 (GC) 的病理诊断、分子遗传学和治疗取得了重大进展。为了反映这些变化，韩国病理学家协会胃肠道病理学研究小组成立了一个委员会，用于发布该报告的第二版。第二版由两部分组成：标准数据元素和条件数据元素。标准数据元素包含了预测胃癌患者预后所必需的基本病理发现和项目，足以满足常规外科病理服务。条件数据元素允许每个病理学家有选择地选择适合其机构环境的项目。我们相信标准化的病理报告将有助于 GC 的诊断，并促进大规模的多学科合作研究。
