Current Status of Image-Enhanced Endoscopy for Early Identification of Esophageal Neoplasms [PDF]
Advanced esophageal cancer is known to have a poor prognosis. The early detection of esophageal neoplasms, including esophageal dysplasia and early esophageal cancer, is highly important for the accurate treatment of the disease.

Efficacy of Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection of Esophageal Neoplasms under General Anesthesia. [PDF]
Background/Aims Evidence that general anesthesia (GA) reduces the operative time of esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is currently insufficient. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of esophageal ESD under GA.

Endoscopic Resection for the Treatment of Superficial Esophageal Neoplasms. [PDF]
Superficial esophageal neoplasms (SENs) are being diagnosed increasingly frequently due to the screening endoscopy and advances in endoscopic techniques. Endoscopic resection (ER) is a relatively noninvasive treatment method with low morbidity and mortality that provides excellent oncologic outcomes.
