Core Tip
Core tip: Advances in endoscopic therapies led to organ preserving endoscopic treatments for early esophageal cancer and submucosal tumors of the esophagus. These techniques include endoscopic mucosal resection, endoscopic submucosal dissection and submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection. Ablative techniques are useful for treatment of residual dysplasia.
