Table 1 Summary of reactive and proactive strategies for post-circumferential endoscopic submucosal dissection stenosis prevention

Reactive	Proactive
Endoscopic balloon dilation; Self-expandable metal stents placement; Self-inflatable balloon placement	Oral prednisolone; Local triamcinolone injection; Polyglycolic acid sheets placement; Autologous oral mucosal epithelial cell sheets
SEMs covered by triamcinolone-soaked PGA sheet
Oral adjuvant prednisolone

SEM: Self-expandable metal; PGA: Polyglycolic acid.
