Endoscopic resection

Abstract

Endoscopic resection (ER) has become the most important endoscopic treatment method of early cancers of the upper GI tract. ER serves as a therapeutic but also as a diagnostic tool by providing a specimen for histologic assessment. In expert hands ER is easy to performe and has a very low complication rate. Long-term results in early esophageal and gastric cancer are excellent.
