Secondary endoscopic submucosal dissection for locally recurrent or incompletely resected gastric neoplasms

Lymphoepithelioma-like gastric carcinoma resected by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).

thelioma-like gastric carcinoma that presented as a flat depressed lesion and was treated by complete en-bloc resection using endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). A 73-year-old manwas referred to the department of internal medicine because of an incidental finding suspicious of early gastric cancer. The patient’s medical history and laboratory test results were unremarkable. Gastroscopy reve...

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...

Safety and efficacy of secondary endoscopic submucosal dissection for residual gastric carcinoma after primary endoscopic submucosal dissection.

BACKGROUND/AIMS In endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), misdiagnosis of the tumor margin may lead to residual carcinoma, which we treat by secondary ESD (sESD) for local control. METHODS 1,458 lesions of early gastric carcinoma were treated by ESD between July 2006 and November 2011. 33 lesions were resected with positive lateral margins. Among them, 13 patients were treated by surgery, 12...

[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...
