Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Early Gastric Cancer

The field of endoscopy has progressed markedly and become widespread in recent years, and the role of minimally invasive endoscopic treatment has become increasingly more important with the increase in the number of patients in whom gastric cancer is detected at an early stage. In addition, the characteristics of early gastric cancer, which can be curably treated by mucosal resection alone just...

Comparison of clinical outcomes after endoscopic submucosal dissection and surgery in the treatment of early gastric cancer

The feasibility of expanding the indications for endoscopic submucosal dissection to treat early gastric cancer based on long-term outcomes has shown conflicting results. This study aimed to investigate whether outcomes or adverse events associated with endoscopic submucosal dissection are comparable to those of surgery for early gastric cancer that including the absolute and expanded indicatio...

Clinical Impact of Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Early Gastric Cancer

Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the safety and efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer based on approximately 10 years’ experience. Methods: Endoscopic submucosal dissection was performed in 1272 patients with early gastric cancer (1657 lesions). We examined en bloc resection rate, curative resection rate, local recurrence rate, procedure time, and ...

Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection of Early Gastric Cancer: Yes, We Need to Calculate Procedure Times!

t i i fi e t s s t I i The incidence of gastric cancer has steadily declined over many decades, yet it remains worldwide one of the most common malignancies.1 Most gastric cancers arise as a result of lifelong colonization with Helicobacter pylori, inducing chronic active gastritis. An abundancy of research over the past 20 years has yielded endoscopic and non-invasive methods to recognise both...

Is Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection the Option for Early Gastric Cancer Patients with Contraindication to Surgery?

Surgical therapy is the traditional approach for early gastric cancer. Patients with comorbidities cannot benefit from this treatment because of high surgical morbidities and mortalities. Endoscopic submucosal dissection is a new technique for complete en bloc resection of early gastric cancer. We report the case of a patient with severe cardiomyopathy who developed early gastric cancer without...

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is being accepted as a new procedure of endoscopic treatment of early gastric cancer.
