Long-term follow-up after endoscopic resection for superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: a multicenter Western study

Abstract

Endoscopic resection of superficial esophageal SCC was safe and efficient. Because it was associated with an increased recurrence-free survival rate, ESD should be preferred over EMR. For tumors with infiltration depths ≥ m3, chemoradiotherapy reduced the risk of nodal or distal metastasis.
