Optimizing Treatment and Expanding Indications in Non-Curative Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection

The study highlights the importance of assessing the quality of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) not only for curative cases but also for non-curative ones. With unclear management strategies for Ecurac-1 tumors, research primarily focuses on additional surgical procedures for high-risk patients. Exploring management strategies and follow-up outcomes for non-curative cases and the use of molecular imaging could greatly impact the management of early-stage gastric cancer patients.
