ESD IN EARLY BARRETT'S ADENOCARCINOMA IS A SAFE PROCEDURE

EMR (endoscopic mucosal resection) is currently considered the therapy of choice for early Barrett's adenocarcinoma, but achieving en bloc resection by EMR is limited to small lesions. By contrast, ESD (endoscopic submucosal dissection) allows en bloc resection irrespective of the tumor's size. This retrospective data collection was aimed to highlight the benefits of ESD with special focus on the procedure's safety.
