Endoscopic resection is a less invasive treatment than esophagectomy for superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, but patients with lymph node metastasis need additional treatment after endoscopic resection.
No additional treatment is needed for endoscopic resection cases with superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (#22627741#):
(1) thinner than 1200 μm;
(2) confined to the mucosa;
(3) with submucosal invasion <250 μm;
(4) with submucosal invasion ≥250 μm but with (...)

columnar-lined esophagus
12 October 2011Intestinal metaplasia in the columnar-lined esophagus (CLE) has long been recognized as the most significant histologic risk indicator for esophageal adenocarcinoma.
Recent concern has been expressed, however, that nonintestinalized metaplastic columnar epithelia (cardiac epithelium in the esophagus) may also indicate risk.
Systematic biopsies of CLE as described in this study separate patients into those with and without intestinal metaplasia in such a manner as to remove the possibility (...) -
