Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection Offers Hope for GERD-Related Neoplasms

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) proves highly effective in treating GERD-related neoplasms, achieving a 100% en bloc resection rate and a 95.8% curative resection rate among 96 patients. Remarkably, no local recurrences or metastases were observed during follow-ups. After six months, nearly 70% of patients experienced alleviated GERD symptoms, linked to the extent of resected lumen circumference. Major complications were observed in only 8.4% of cases, underscoring ESD’s safety and efficacy.
