Core Tip
Core tip: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a minimally invasive technique used to diagnose or treat early neoplastic lesions of the gastrointestinal tract. Imported from Far East countries, where it is extensively used, this intervention has proven to be highly effective in carefully selected patients and to constitute a viable alternative to radical surgery. ESD is relatively new in the West and local evidence to support its use in the United Kingdom lacking. This retrospective study provides early evidence in favour of the use of ESD in the United Kingdom.
