Preoperative Diagnosis of Gastric Cancer Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection

Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) is a minimally invasive treatment for early- stage gastric, esophageal, stomach, and colorectal cancer, pioneered in Japan as an approach intended to improve malignant post-surgical health conditions, including loss of appetite, fever, and pain. For ESD to become recognized as standard treatment, it is essential to understand pre-operative diagnosis. This book reviews the diagnostic process, by discussing various cases with precise explanations and observation and basic understanding of invasion depth diagnosis, diagnostic coverage, and qualitative diagnosis. It covers actual practice scenarios, including 'difficult-to-treat' cases, and detailed diagnosis. With abundant color figures and extensive explanations, this book is intended as a textbook for clinicians, and professionals, endoscopists, and gastroenterologists. ​
