Abstract
AbstractEndoscopic resection techniques like endoscopic mucosal resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection have become the cornerstone for the management of early cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. Risks associated with endoscopic resection may be exacerbated by the presence of background cirrhosis with its attendant complications. With complex alterations in hemostasis in patients with cirrhosis, management of patients undergoing endoscopic resection is more challenging. In this article we discuss a case of early gastric cancer in a patient with background chronic liver disease and thrombocytopenia managed using endoscopic submucosal dissection.
