What we do<\/div>\n
\n Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD)\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Target condition<\/div>\n
\n Early-stage gastrointestinal cancer\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Approach<\/div>\n
\n Endoscopic resection with organ preservation when appropriate\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is used to remove selected early-stage
\n gastrointestinal cancers using endoscopic techniques.
\n It allows removal of lesions while preserving the surrounding organ.\n<\/p>\n

What is ESD<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n

\n ESD is a therapeutic endoscopic procedure used to remove superficial lesions
\n from the gastrointestinal tract.
\n It is applied in selected cases of early-stage cancer of the esophagus,
\n stomach, and colon.\n <\/p>\n

\n The lesion is removed in one piece (en bloc resection),
\n allowing accurate pathological assessment.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
