Malignancies in the upper gastrointestinal tract can be effectively treated through endoscopic resection at an early stage. Key factors influencing successful resection include thorough pre-resection assessment, precise delineation of margins, and selection of appropriate resection techniques. This review outlines clinical algorithms for the endoscopic resection of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, Barrett’s neoplasia, and gastric neoplasia, emphasizing the importance of post-resection risk assessment and tailored follow-up strategies based on histopathological findings.
