A Case of Worsened Refractory Ascites due to Prednisolone Administration for Stricture Prevention after Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Extensive Early Esophageal Cancer: Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]

DEN Open
ABSTRACT Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is widely used for early esophageal cancer, even in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC). Corticosteroids, administered orally or by local injection, are often used to prevent post‐ESD esophageal stricture. However, their safety in patients with decompensated LC and refractory ascites remains unclear. A man
