Open AccessCardiovascular disease risk and associated physical activity factors in gastrointestinal cancer survivors
Although the risk of CVD is increased in cancer survivors, few studies have investigated the CVD risk in survivors of gastrointestinal (GI) cancer. Therefore, we evaluated the CVD risk using the 10-year athero...

Open AccessClinical outcomes of esophageal granular cell tumors with different endoscopic resection methods
Esophageal granular cell tumors (GCTs), the second most common subepithelial tumors (SETs) of the esophagus, are potentially malignant with no definite management guidelines available. We retrospectively enrol...

Efficacy and safety of one-step knife compared to conventional insulated-tip knife for endoscopic submucosal dissection: a preliminary study with prospective data collection and retrospective review
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is not as tiresome as gastrectomy, but it is a time-consuming procedure. One-step knife (OSK) is a novel knife that combines a knife for ESD and an injection needle into ...

Long-term outcomes and surveillance timing of patients with large non-pedunculated colorectal polyps with histologically incomplete resection in endoscopic resection
Histologically incomplete resection of large colorectal polyps is frequently encountered; however, the long-term outcomes or surveillance timing is not well known. We evaluated the incidence rate and time of r...

Open AccessAbsent or impaired rectoanal inhibitory reflex as a diagnostic factor for high-grade (grade III–V) rectal prolapse: a retrospective study
Clinically diagnosing high-grade (III–V) rectal prolapse might be difficult, and the prolapse can often be overlooked. Even though defecography is the significant diagnostic tool for rectal prolapse, it is not...

Factors associated with conversion to snare resection during gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection
Although gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) achieves a higher en-bloc resection rate compared to that with endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for gastric epithelial tumors, the higher complication ...

Clinical outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection for lesions on the proximal location between remnant and entire stomach
Tumors located on the proximal stomach are associated with a longer procedure time and lower en-block resection of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Additionally, it is more difficult to perform ESD for ...

Endoscopic submucosal dissection for gastric indefinite for neoplasia: which lesions should be resected?
The management plan for gastric indefinite for neoplasia is undetermined, and endoscopic forceps biopsy might be inconclusive in ascertaining whether a resection is required. This study aimed to evaluate the c...

Open AccessRisk factors for delayed bleeding by onset time after endoscopic submucosal dissection for gastric neoplasm
Post-endoscopic submucosal dissection bleeding (PEB) is one of the important complications after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), but still difficult to predict. The present study aimed to identify sign...

Preoperative predictors of beyond endoscopic submucosal dissection indication or lymphovascular invasion in endoscopic resection for early gastric cancer
To successfully resect early gastric cancer (EGC), prediction of lymph node metastasis is essential. Beyond endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) indication or lymphovascular invasion (LVI) are known risk fac...

The clinical outcomes and risk factors associated with incomplete endoscopic resection of rectal carcinoid tumor
The risk of lymph node metastasis of a small rectal carcinoid tumor (<10 mm) is known to be lower than that of tumors at other gastrointestinal sites. Although rectal carcinoid tumors can be treated by endosco...

Location characteristics of early gastric cancer treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection
The timely detection of early gastric cancer (EGC) is important in performing endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). We attempted to determine the location characteristics of regions where EGC is frequently d...
