Abstract
|
|
|
Although esophageal cancer has been recognized as difficult to treat, its long-term survival statistics are significant lower than those of other gastrointestinal cancers. Postoperative 5-year survival of the early esophageal cancer which
invasion
is
limited to the mucosa is close to 100%. So, early detection of esophageal cancer has been extremely significant. Progress in the endoscopic technique has enabled to make not only early detection but also curative endoscopic resection of the early
esophageal cancers. The indication for curative endoscopic resection of esophageal cancer are as follows: mucosal cancer apart from gross invasion to the muscularis mucosae without nodal involvement and less than 2cm ×2cm in size of lesion. EEMR
tube(endoscopic esophageal mucosal resection tube), which was designed by Makuuchi in 1991, is widely used for resection of early esophageal cancers.
We report a cases of patient with early esophageal cancer, who was adinitted due to complation of postprandial epigastric pain, diagnosed by endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasonography and chest computerized tomography, and successfully resected by
using
EEMR
tube. (Kor J Gastrointest Endosc 15: 713~718, 1995)
