Abstract

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a curative treatment for early gastrointestinal (GI) cancer. Apart from ESD technique, adequate handling of resected specimen is the essential step for documenting the disease cure and planning a long-term management. In addition, post-ESD management protocol is the important strategy for patient’s safety. To current knowledge, this is the first holistic acute care recommendations in patient undergoing ESD.
