摘要
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) invented in Japan, plays an important role in the treatment of early gastrointestinal cancer (EGC) and dysplasia. Endoscopic procedures are now widely spreading around the world. ESD has the advantage that en bloc resection as well as pathological view can be achieved when compared with conventional endoscopic mucosal resection (1).
