Patients With Superficial Esophageal Squamous Cell Cancer With Lymphovascular or Submucosal Invasion Need Additional Therapy After Endoscopic Resection
In patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with invasion into the muscularis mucosa (pMM-ESCC) with lymphovascular invasion (LVI), the Japan Esophageal Society recommends additional treatment
Predicting Residual Neoplasia Risk After “Noncurative” Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Malignant Colorectal Lesions
This is a retrospective study from 15 Western centers performing colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in Europe and Australia. A curative resection was defined as
More on Recurrence After Endoscopic Resection of T1 Colorectal Cancer: In Large Study, Only Rectal Location Predicted Recurrence
Widely accepted predictors of local recurrence after endoscopic resection of T1 cancers include rectal location, positive resection margin, poor differentiation (PD), lymphovascular invasion (LVI), high-grade
T1 Colorectal Cancer With Free Resection Margins Between 0.1 and 1 mm: High-Grade Tumor Budding Makes the Difference in Recurrence Risk
A free resection margin, often interpreted as >1 mm between cancer and the resection line, is an independent predictor of low risk for recurrent cancer
Endoscopic Resection for Early Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Invading the Muscularis Mucosae Without Lymphovascular Invasion
Superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) involving the epithelium and lamina propria is treated with endoscopic resection (ER) due to negligible risk of lymph node
