1 DaysEndoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) is an advanced, minimally invasive technique used to remove deep or larger tumors from the digestive tract lining, such as in the esophagus, stomach, or colon, without traditional surgery.
For patients with early-stage GI cancers or complex polyps, ESD allows complete tumor removal in one piece (en-bloc resection), which gives accurate diagnosis, clear margins, and reduces the need for open surgery.
ESD is ideal for patients with early-stage cancers that haven’t spread deeply into the wall of the GI tract. It’s especially recommended when the tumor is flat, large, or located in sensitive areas like the stomach, esophagus, or rectum where complete removal is needed without open surgery.

EMR is quicker and simpler but usually works best for smaller lesions. ESD, on the other hand, is more complex but gives a more complete removal in one piece, which reduces the risk of cancer returning. Your doctor decides based on tumor size, depth, and location.
Patients who undergo ESD often enjoy excellent long-term outcomes. With proper follow-up endoscopies and lifestyle care, the risk of recurrence is very low. Regular checkups ensure early detection if anything returns and promote overall digestive health.
Modern ESD uses high-definition scopes and precision tools that allow doctors to perform with incredible accuracy. Expert centers now offer robot-assisted techniques and newer blades that make the procedure safer and faster, even for challenging tumors.
