Video Tip: Early Gastric Cancer | December 2023-Early Gastric Cancer

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video is a case study of a 74-year-old Korean female who underwent an upper endoscopy for surveillance of gastrointestinal metaplasia. The endoscopy showed a subtle erosion that was biopsied and diagnosed as adenocarcinoma. The patient underwent staging procedures, including a CT scan and endoscopic ultrasound, which showed a T1A lesion with no evidence of invasion or lymphadenopathy. The patient was presented with the options of local resection or total gastrectomy. Based on the characteristics of the tumor, the doctors opted for an ESD resection using traction for improved visualization and dissection. The pathology report confirmed a well-differentiated intramucosal adenocarcinoma with curative resection. The patient remained under surveillance for gastrointestinal metaplasia.
