Correction to: Long-term outcomes of patients with early gastric cancer found to have lesions for which endoscopic treatment is not indicated on histopathological evaluation after endoscopic submucosal dissection

Correction to: Surg Endosc DOI 10.1007/s00464-017-5809-1

In Table 1, the second item in the right-hand column “Extra-indication” should be changed to “Out of indication”. The correct version of Table 1 is displayed.

Table 1 Classification of indications for endoscopic submucosal dissection as defined by the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society (JGES) and the Japanese Gastric Cancer Association (JGCA)

In Figure 1, the illustration on the left should be exchanged with that on the right. Also, in the caption’s third line, “p = 0.010” should be changed to “p < 0.001”. The correct version of Fig. 1 is displayed.

Fig. 1

A Overall survival. The 5-year overall survival rate was significantly higher in the additional operation group (96.0%) than in the follow-up group (73.3%, p < 0.001). B Cause-specific survival. The 5-year cause-specific survival rate was significantly higher in the additional operation group (100%) than in the follow-up group (92.6%, p < 0.001)

In Figure 2, the illustration on the left should be exchanged with that on the right. The correct version of Fig. 2 is displayed.

Fig. 2

A Overall survival. Among elderly patients 75 years or older, the 5-year overall survival rate was slightly lower in the follow-up group (62.8%) than in the additional operation group (81.8%, p = 0.232). B Cause-specific survival. Among elderly patients 75 years or older, the 5-year cause-specific survival rate did not differ significantly between the additional operation group (100%) and the follow-up group (91.2%, p = 0.283)
