Core Tip

Core Tip: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a highly efficient treatment modality for early gastric cancer. However, the adoption of ESD in Western countries poses two main challenges: Low prevalence of early gastric cancer and lack of expertise in such advanced endoscopic technique. Dedicated training programs are needed to safely embrace ESD in Western countries.
