Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection is an Effective and Safe Therapy for Early Gastric Neoplasms

Abstract

ESD is an effective and safe therapy in the management of early gastric neoplasms when performed by well-trained endoscopists. Endoscopists should recognize the difficulty to perform ESD for en bloc resection of upper lesion, and the risk of delayed bleeding in cases of lesions >2 cm in size.
