Diagnosis and Treatment of Early Gastric Cancer (DV011)-Diagnosis and Treatment of Early Gastric Cancer

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video provides information on the diagnosis and treatment of early gastric cancer. It emphasizes the importance of early detection, as the survival rate is high for stage 1 disease. The video explains the different types of early gastric cancer based on macroscopic appearance, such as protruded, flat, depressed, and excavated types. It highlights the difficulty in identifying these lesions and provides strategies for detecting them, including proper stomach preparation, insufflation, and the use of antiperistaltic agents. The video also discusses the use of indigo carmine to enhance visual evaluation of lesions. In terms of treatment, endoscopic resection is discussed as a standard treatment in Japan, providing pathological staging without precluding future surgical therapy. Different techniques for endoscopic resection, such as inject-and-cut, EMR using CAP, and endoscopic submucosal dissection, are demonstrated. The video concludes by emphasizing the importance of early detection and treatment for gastric cancer.
