ABSTRACT

Eighteen patients with early cancer and precancerous lesions of esophagogastric junction underwent multiband mucosectomy (MBM) in Yangzhou First People's Hospital from January 2013 to February 2014.The clinicopathological data of patients were analyzed retrospectively and the short-term efficacy and safety of MBM were evaluated.Operations were successful in all 18 cases.The mean operative time was 35.8 min.Intraoperative bleeding occurred in 3 cases and successfully managed by endoscopic hemostasis.Small perforation occurred in 1 patient and was closed by metal clips.Pathological examination showed mucosal cancer in 5 cases,high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia in 8 cases and low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia in 5 cases.No relapse of cancer was found during follow-up.Results indicate that MBM is an effective and safe method in treatment of early cancer and precancerous lesions in the esophagogastric junction.
