- Abstract
- The high incidence of gastric cancer has led to the initiation
of cancer screening programs. As a result, the
number of early gastric cancer cases has increased and
consequentially, the cancer mortality rate has decreased.
Moreover, the development of minimally invasive endoscopic
treatment has been introduced for these early
lesions. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is now
recognized as one of the preferred treatment modalities
for premalignant gastrointestinal epithelial lesions and
early gastric cancer without lymph node metastasis. We
review the results of ESD including experiences in Japan
and Korea, as well as western countries.
