Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Superficial Proximal Esophageal Neoplasia is Highly Successful.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for superficial proximal esophageal neoplasia. ⋯ ESD for the superficial proximal esophageal neoplasia is a safe and a very effective treatment method with a 100% 5-year disease-specific survival rate.

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of the circumferential resection margin (CRM) in esophageal cancer on survival and recurrence in patients without pretreatment. ⋯ CRM was found to have no impact on survival and recurrence in esophageal cancer. Therefore, the possible impact of neoadjuvant pretreatment in locally advanced tumors should be considered with caution in terms of an improved resectability.
