Early-stage cancer detection is increasing. Endoscopic mucosal resection offers a minimally invasive method for cancer resection and assessment, aiding treatment decisions.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Increasing detection rates of early-stage malignancies present diagnostic and treatment challenges.
  • Traditional ablation methods lack crucial histological information for treatment planning.
  • Surgical intervention is often not justified due to low metastasis rates and patient comorbidities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) as a primary diagnostic and therapeutic tool for early-stage cancers.
  • To determine the efficacy of EMR in providing histological data for risk stratification.
  • To compare the risks and benefits of EMR versus traditional surgery for early-stage lesions.

Main Methods:

  • Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) performed on suspicious lesions.

  • Histological examination of resected specimens to assess tumor depth and lymphatic/venous invasion.
  • Risk assessment for lymph node metastasis based on histological findings.

    • Main Results:

    • EMR allows for cost-effective resection with minimal morbidity and mortality.
    • Histological assessment post-EMR accurately predicts the risk of lymph node metastasis.
    • EMR provides essential information for determining the need for further surgical intervention.

    Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic mucosal resection is a reliable and minimally invasive approach for managing early-stage cancers.
    • EMR facilitates accurate risk stratification, enabling personalized treatment decisions.
    • The procedure balances the risks of metastatic disease against surgical complications in elderly patients.
