Abstract:
Endoscopic resection has been established as one of the treatment options for selected cases of early gastric cancer in Korea. Yet the indications, best treatment methods, management of complications and follow-up methods after the procedure are still uncertain. Some large-scale multicenter studies have recently been reported in Korea. In this review, I will provide an overview of the recent published articles and future directions for endoscopic resection of early gastric cancer.
