Abstract

Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), initially developed in Japan to treat early gastric cancer, has evolved into a minimally invasive alternative treatment approach for early cancers throughout the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract. This endoscopic technique involves removal of affected mucosal tissue, in most cases with the use of preresection saline injection lifting of the target lesion to separate it from the submucosal layer. The lesion is most often removed with an endoscopic snare that applies electrocautery. The advantage of EMR is the added information provided by deeper en-bloc resection specimens for histological analysis.
