Technical feasibility and oncological safety of diagnostic endoscopic resection for superficial esophageal cancer

Active use of endoscopic resection (ER) for cM3-SM2 esophageal cancer may enable sufficient extent of esophageal resection and help determine the need for lymph node dissection based on histopathological findings. However, ER preceding esophagectomy may have an adverse impact on outcomes. This study was designed to determine the technical feasibility and oncological safety of diagnostic ER.
