Abstract

Due to recent progress in endoscopic treatment, a lot of gastrointestinal cancers or premalignant lesions are successfully removed using this technique and patients’ quality of life is considerably improved as a result. However, the risk of secondary cancers after endoscopic resection is likely higher than that after surgery, because metachronous cancer may develop from the preserved organ. Therefore, appropriate surveillance after endoscopic resection is essential.
