Su1135 CAP ASSISTED ENDOSCOPIC RESECTION VERSUS MULTIBAND MUCOSECTOMY TECHNIQUE FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF ESOPHAGEAL CANCER: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS

Esophageal cancer is the eighth most common cancer worldwide. Endoscopic resection (ER) remains a safe and effective treatment for the management of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasms of the esophagus. Different ER techniques have been described such as cap assisted ER and multiband mucosectomy (MBM). Although cap-assisted ER technique has been widely used for the esophagus, it may be technically demanding and laborious, especially when multiple subsequent resections are required. There are small numbers of studies with limited patient number comparing the efficacy of cap assisted ER versus MBM for the management of esophageal cancer.
