Core Tip

Core Tip: This study examined 264 cases of esophageal mucosal lesions in 245 patients who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) treatment. The study found that esophageal tumors with different levels of differentiation exhibit differences in clinical and pathological characteristics. While ESD demonstrated sustained efficacy, elderly patients and those with a history of esophageal cancer had poorer prognoses and required close follow-up.
