Between May 2005 and February 2009, a total of 45 colorectal tumors in 45 patients were resected by ESD at Tochigi Cancer Center, and the data for these cases were accumulated on a prospectively ...

Rectal carcinoid tumors ≤10 mm in diameter have a very low rate of metastasis and are, therefore, good candidates for endoscopic resection—a less-invasive alternative to surgical resection.

Endoscopic submucosal dissection appears safe and effective for treating patients with superficial pharyngeal cancer, according to results from a phase 2 study. “Endoscopic treatments such as ...

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of large colorectal adenomas resulted in a lower recurrence rate compared with endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), but the more technically complex ESD had a ...

Prospective multicenter feasibility study of laparoscopic sentinel basin dissection for organ preserving surgery in gastric cancer: Quality control study for phase III trial. Comparison of ...

The evidence on efficacy of endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of non-ampullary duodenal lesions is limited in quantity and there are safety concerns ...

"New technologies in endoscopic resection are being developed toward safer techniques with improved efficacy. Techniques such as traction-assisted and tunneling are called modified ESD which would ...

Background and Aim: For large colorectal tumors, the en bloc resection rate achieved by endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is insufficient, and this leads to a high rate of local recurrence. As ...

Evidence-based recommendations on endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of non-ampullary duodenal lesions. This involves using a long camera inserted through ...
