Abstract

Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) of early gastric and esophageal tumors is effective and avoids the morbidity and mortality of surgery. We report the long-term results of a consecutive series of 93 endoscopic resections, during a 7-year period, in a U.K. population. Eighty-eight patients with 93 lesions were included. EMR was performed for 64 and 29 malignant and benign lesions, respectively. Patients with malignant disease were subgrouped into "high risk" or "low risk" for recurrence. Of the 35 lesions in the low-risk group, local control was achieved in 31; 29 after 1 EMR session. Two had residual invasive carcinoma, one had treatment ceased due to pancreatic cancer, and one patient did not attend follow-up. Of the 29 lesions in the high-risk group, local control was achieved in 15; 13 after 1 EMR session. Median follow-up was 53 months. Cancer specific survival for the 45 invasive cancers (T1m and T1sm) was 93%; three patients died from their disease. This study has shown for the first time in a U.K. population that EMR is effective in controlling disease in patients with local high grade dysplasia (HGD) and early invasive carcinoma, with no mortality and low morbidity.

Cancer Incidence & Mortality

Cancer has emerged as a global concern due to its increase in incidence and mortality. Efforts are underway to evaluate and develop action plans to reduce the global burden of cancer. Currently, lung cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer are the leading causes of cancer mortality. Here is the latest research on cancer incidence and mortality.

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.
