Risk factors for non-curative resection of early gastric neoplasms with endoscopic submucosal dissection: Analysis of 1,123 lesions.

Although the frequency of residual disease and recurrence following endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has markedly decreased, a few cases of residual disease and recurrence following ESD are still observed. The aims of the present study were to clarify the causes of non-curative resection and to investigate the risk factors. A total of 1,123 early gastric neoplasm lesions treated by ESD were investigated.

Risk factors for perforation and delayed bleeding associated with endoscopic submucosal dissection for early gastric neoplasms: analysis of 1123 lesions.

Background And Aim: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a useful procedure for the treatment of early gastric neoplasms; however, this advanced technique has also resulted in an increase in serious complications such as perforation and delayed bleeding. This study aimed to elucidate the risk factors for these complications.

Methods: A total of 1123 lesions diagnosed with early gastric neoplasms and treated by ESD at three institutions were investigated.

Clinical outcomes of ESD for early gastric neoplasms in elderly patients.

Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a standard treatment in Japan for early gastric neoplasms. With an increase in elderly population, the number of elderly patients in whom ESD performed has also steadily increased.

Aims And Methods:  The aim of study was to evaluate the effectiveness of and problems associated with ESD for early gastric neoplasms in elderly patients.
