Abstract:
Endoscopic resection ( ER ) has been widely accepted as an effective and minimally invasive treatment for patients with superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma ( SCC ). Techniques of conventional endoscopic mucosal resection ( EMR ) were first developed for ER . There are three representative methods of conventional EMR : endoscopic esophageal mucosal resection ( EEMR )‐tube method, EMR using a cap‐fitted endoscope ( EMRC ) method and two‐channel EMR method. In the past decade, techniques of endoscopic submucosal dissection ( ESD ) have become established as standard methods of ER . ESD allows en bloc resection of a lesion, irrespective of the size and shape of the lesion. Recently, results of retrospective cohort studies confirming that ESD is superior to EMR as a curative treatment for superficial esophageal SCC have been reported. Representative knives that are now frequently used in esophageal ESD include H ook knife, T riangle tip knife, IT knife nano, F lush knife‐ BT , D ual knife, SB knife, and so on. Although there are various knives developed for ESD , the basic techniques for safe and effective ESD are the same.
