Excerpt
Important advances have been made in the field of endoscopic treatment of gastroesophageal malignancies in the last decade. In this review, we outline recent updates in imaging modalities for diagnosing and staging early esophageal cancer, and describe how new imaging techniques may improve the efficiency of endoscopy in detecting early neoplasia, and aid in surveillance after endoscopic ablation. We also review recent evidence of endoscopic management of high-grade dysplasia (HGD) and intramucosal carcinoma (IMC), and cover advances in endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer (EGC). …
