A 61-year old man with poor pulmonary function was seen with two early cancers of the stomach. Neodymium-YAG laser treatment was applied to these lesions since surgery was contraindicated.

Our results suggest that endoscopic Nd-YAG laser therapy is applicable in the treatment of early gastric cancer when a surgical operation is contraindicated.
