ABSTRACT
Endoscopic resection is indicated for early or superficial gastrointestinal neoplasms with a negligible risk of lymph node metastasis. This procedure could preserve the organ while allowing en bloc resection of tumors, irrespective of the size and location of the lesion. Histological evaluation of the resected specimen determines whether curative resection, which implies a favorable long-term outcome, was achieved. If the resected specimen reveals non-curative, additional treatment is necessary as it is strongly associated with recurrence.Current Concepts Surgical resection is recommended after non-curative resection of gastrointestinal neoplasms. However, rather than surgical resection, additional endoscopic treatment can be recommended if non-curative resection is solely because of the positive involvement at the horizontal resection margin without any other findings compatible with the non-curative resection criteria.Discussion and Conclusion:
Adopting precise indications of endoscopic resection is important to reduce the risk of non-curative resection. If curative resection is not achieved after endoscopic resection, additional treatment should be considered to prevent local recurrence as well as lymph node metastasis.
