To detect early esophageal cancer effectively, it is important to select high-risk groups. Because we often see early esophageal cancer after gastrectomy for gastric cancer, we investigated 11 early esophageal cancers treated endoscopically in 7 patients who had undergone gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Their average age was 70.8 ± 5.2 years. Median interval between previous gastrectomy and the diagnosis...
Perforation of the esophagus during endoscopic therapy is a severe complicati1on. Nonetheless, almost all perforations made during endoscopic submucosal dissection can be treated conservatively because their early diagnosis, the good condition of the patient, and their small size enables them to be closed with endoscopic clips. If inflammation around the esophagus progresses to mediastinitis, however,...
Background Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for early esophageal cancer has become popular. Recently, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been used to excise widespread lesions en bloc. However, the time required for the ulcer to heal has not been clarified. Therefore, we investigated the healing time of ulcers that were formed after EMR/ESD. Methods Twenty-one patients with primary early...
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) recently has been aggressively performed to treat superficial esophageal cancer; however, it is difficult to secure a good field of view for mucosal dissection, and the technique requires considerable skill. We have developed a double-channel ESD method using an endoscopic esophageal mucosal resection (EEMR) tube that makes it possible to perform the submucosal...
