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...

Endoscopic Treatment for Early Gastric Cancer

Endoscopic resection has been accepted as a curative modality for early gastric cancer (EGC). Since conventional endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) has been introduced, many improvements in endoscopic accessories and techniques have been achieved. Recently, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) using various electrosurgical knives has been performed for complete resection of EGC and enables co...

[Endoscopic submucosal dissection for early gastric cancer].

Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) has been accepted as a treatment of early gastric cancer (EGC). The number of EMR procedures for EGC has been increasing because a patient's quality of life after EMR is superior to that after surgical gastrectomy. In Japan, most EMR have been performed using the strip biopsy method; however, in some cases we experienced local recurrences when multiple fragmen...

due to a positive fecal occult blood test. He was asymptomatic and his medical history included myocardial infarction and hypertension. At colonoscopy, a de− pressed lesion, approximately 7 mm in size, was identified in the posterior wall of the lower part of the rectum. Chromo− endoscopy with 0.4 % indigo carmine de− fined the depression, which mimicked an early depressed cancer. However, magn...
