Endoscopic Mucosal Resection

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is an effective diagnostic and potentially therapeutic treatment of dysplastic Barrett's esophagus and early intramucosal esophageal carcinoma. Appropriate patient selection for therapeutic resection can follow a diagnostic endoscopic resection, and liberal use of EMR is encouraged to gain insight into the metastatic potential of any early esophageal tumor that appears amenable to EMR. EMR is a low-risk procedure; multidisciplinary groups should consider it a vital component of the staging algorithm for esophageal cancer.
