In this study, EMR was comparable to ESD for the millimeter-sized lesions. We suggest that such small lesions might be well suited to treatment with EMR.
Lymphatic invasion and high-grade focal dedifferentiation at the submucosal invasive front are important predictors of lymph node metastasis in patients with nonpedunculated submucosal invasive colorectal carcinoma. Depth of submucosal invasion can be used as an identifying marker for patients who do not require subsequent surgery after endoscopic resection.
Self-expandable metallic stent placement is a safe and efficacious procedure for palliation, with shorter operating time and more prompt restoration of oral intake, compared to surgical alternatives in patients with GOO caused by gastric cancer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
