ESD – Disección Endoscópica de la Submucosa

Posted on 10 September 2008 by Gustavo Kishimoto

La mucosectomía o resección endoscópica de la mucosa (EMR, del inglés: endoscopic mucosal resection), a pesar de su insignificante riesgo de metastasis ganglionar, es la técnica estándar para el tratamiento del cáncer precoz de estómago utilizada en Japón, y ha sido ampliamente difundida y aceptada en los países occidentales.

ESD – Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection

Posted on 18 June 2008 by Gustavo Kishimoto

[Español] [Français]

Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) of early gastric cancer (EGC), with negligible risk of lymph node metastasis, is a standard technique in Japan and is increasingly becoming accepted and regularly used in Western countries.

EMR is a minimally invasive technique which is safe, convenient, and efficacious; however, it is insufficient when treating larger lesions. The evidence suggests that difficulties with the correct assessment of depth of tumor invasion lead to an increase in local recurrence with standard EMR when lesions are larger than 15 mm. A major factor contributing to this increase in local recurrence relates to lesions being excised piecemeal due to the technical limitations of standard EMR. Continue Reading
