Repeat endoscopic submucosal dissection for recurrent gastric cancers after endoscopic submucosal dissection

Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Early Gastric Cancers with Uncommon Histology

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) enables en bloc curative resection of early gastric cancers (EGCs) with a negligible risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM). Although ESD for EGCs with absolute and expanded indications is safe, the results differ between EGCs with specialized and common histologies. EGC with papillary adenocarcinoma is a differentiated-type adenocarcinoma. At present, it is ...

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 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...

Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Gastric Arteriovenous Malformation

Endoscopic submucosal dissection for gastric adenomyoma

Gastric adenomyoma (GA) is a kind of rare gastric submucosal eminence lesions. As the malignant transformation cannot be ruled out, surgery and laparoscopic resection are usually considered. The aim of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic effect and safety of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for GA.All of the patients with gastric submucosal eminence lesions who underwent ESD from Ju...
