Abstract:
Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) or mucosectomy is one of the latest additions to our therapeutic armamentarium. Distinct from other techniques like polypectomy, EMR completely removes affected mucosa by resecting through the middle or deeper part of submucosa. In addition, EMR can provide endoscopic cure of early cancers in which the risk of lymph-node metastasis is minimal. Another purpose of EMR is to obtain specimens for accurate pathology staging. This review will provide an overview or the techniques and outcomes or EMR in Barrett's.
