Abstract

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer (EGC) has been widely accepted as a minimally invasive treatment. Although the short-term outcome of ESD for EGC patients with severe comorbidities (high-risk patients) was reported to be similar to that of low-risk patients, little is known regarding the long-term outcome in high-risk patients. We compared the long-term outcome of ESD for EGC in high-risk patients with that in low-risk patients using propensity score (PS) analysis.
