Esophageal cancer treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy: a case report
INTRODUCTION The treatment of esophageal cancer remains clinically challenging because of the overall poor prognosis associated with the disease. The mortality rate associated with surgical treatment is high, and the majority of diagnosed patients are old. As such, surgery is not possible in many cases, even when the cancer has progressed to a resectable state. CASE PRESENTATION We present th...
متن کاملEsophageal Stricture Prevention after Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection
Advances in diagnostic modalities and improvement in surveillance programs for Barrett esophagus has resulted in an increase in the incidence of superficial esophageal cancers (SECs). SEC, due to their limited metastatic potential, are amenable to non-invasive treatment modalities. Endoscopic ultrasound, endoscopic mucosal resection, and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) are some of the ne...
متن کاملPrevention and Treatment of Esophageal Stenosis after Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Early Esophageal Cancer
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for the treatment of esophageal mucosal lesions is associated with a risk of esophageal stenosis, especially for near-circumferential or circumferential esophageal mucosal defects. Here, we review historic and modern studies on the prevention and treatment of esophageal stenosis after ESD. These methods include prevention via pharmacological treatment, end...
متن کاملA Submucosal Tumor-Like Recurrence of Early Esophageal Cancer after Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection
Early esophageal cancer is defined as a tumor invading the mucosa with or without lymph node or distant organ metastasis. In the current guidelines for early esophageal cancer, absolute indication for endoscopic resection include lesions limited to the epithelium or lamina propria mucosa not exceeding two-thirds of the circumference, and relative indications include lesions limited to the muscu...

Endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) is the standard-of-care therapy for treating and preventing recurrence of acute esophageal variceal hemorrhage.1 EVL can also be used to prevent a patient’s first variceal bleeding episode, particularly in patients who have medium or large varices showing high-risk signs for bleeding or patients who are intolerant to β-blocker therapy.1-3 EVL has supplanted th...
