Abstract
Endoscopic treatment for esophageal diseases has been developed with the progress of the diagnostic techniques in recent years. It can be assumed that no doctor uses a rigid type of endoscope any more concerning to gastrointestinal diseases. Removal of a foreign body or a benign tumor and treatment of stenosis or esophageal varices, have become routine works for endoscopists. Although, the numbers of cases of early esophageal cancer have been increasing recently, improvement of diagnosis of the lymphnode metastasis and accurate detection of depth of cancer invasion make it possible to clarify which cancer can be treated endoscopically. In an endoscopic treatment for cancer, there are several techniques, such as laser or heat-probe. Among these techniques, an endoscopic mucosal resection is the most prevailing.
