- Results indicated that most patients had successful disease management, with no recurrences within 12 months and a 5-year overall survival rate of 64%.
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is extensively performed for the treatment of early gastric cancer (EGC) in the Eastern countries due to its favourable outcomes compared to gastrectomy in terms of lower complication rates, shorter hospital stays, better quality of life, with similar 5-year survival rate.
