ASGE Annual Postgraduate Course: Clinical Challenges and Real-Time Decision Making in GI Endoscopy (On-demand)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a panel of experts discusses various endoscopic approaches for resecting carcinoid tumors. The speakers discuss the limitations of techniques such as EMR and TSD, which can often result in positive margins due to desmoplastic reactions. They suggest that EFTR may be a better option for smaller lesions, particularly in the bulb or duodenum. The speakers also provide guidance for trainees interested in learning third space endoscopy, recommending a commitment to ongoing education and training. They further discuss the use of EFTR in early gastric cancer and emphasize the importance of thorough examination and sampling protocols for detecting dysplasia and intestinal metaplasia in the stomach and Barrett's esophagus. No credits are provided.
