Treatment of High-Grade Dysplasia and Early Stage Esophageal Adenocarcinoma with an Endoscope: The Ultimate in Minimally Invasive, Curative Therapy
نویسندگان
چکیده
There has been a radical paradigm shift away from esophagectomy as the standard of therapy for highgrade dysplasia and early esophageal cancer. A number of organ-sparing endoscopic procedures including endoscopic resection, radiofrequency ablation and cryoablation are emerging as viable and preferable options for the treatment of early esophageal neoplasia. This review article will discuss ideal candidates for endoscopic therapies, current treatment modalities, clinical and safety outcomes, and specific management recommendations.
