Abstract:
As a common malignant tumor of the digestive tract, esophageal cancer exhibits a high incidence rate globally. Due to its high mortality rate in advanced stages, early prevention of esophageal cancer is particularly important and urgent. Currently, the treatment for early esophageal cancer primarily involves surgical intervention, with Endoscopic mucosal Dissection (ESD) gaining attention for its minimally invasive nature and favorable prognostic outcomes. However, post-ESD esophageal stricture, as a common complication, severely impacts the quality of life of patients after surgery. The current methods for preventing and treating post-ESD stricture are diverse, including but not limited to pharmacological treatments and Endoscopic Balloon Dilation (EBD). Although these methods alleviate symptoms to some extent, they have not achieved ideal efficacy, and thus, there are no unified or clear standards for the prevention of post-ESD esophageal stricture. This review provides a brief overview of the mechanisms of occurrence, risk factors, and prevention and treatment research related to post-ESD esophageal stricture, with the aim of offering guidance and reference for clinical treatment.
