Annieke W. Gotink et al. Exploring diagnostic and therapeutic implications of endoscopic mucosal resection in EUS-staged T2 esophageal adenocarcinoma

A curative endoscopic resection rate of 38 % is reported after endoscopic reassessment by an experienced interventional endoscopist for lesions that were clinically staged as T2 esophageal adenocarcinoma without lymph node or distant metastases. In the absence of invasive features, such as the nonlifting sign, the lesion not moving freely with peristalsis, or the presence of deep ulceration or stricture, suitable lesions after expert reassessment can be considered for endoscopic resection in order to avoid unnecessary esophagectomy.
