A 70-year-old man underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD)for 2 early-stage gastric cancers in 2009 and 2014, respectively. Both were pathologically diagnosed after curative resection. In 2015, we detected swollen lymph nodes in the lesser cur...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: According to guidelines, endoscopic resection should only be performed for patients whose early gastric cancer invasion depth is within the mucosa or submucosa of the stomach regardless of lymph node involvement. The accurate pre...

BACKGROUND: Accurate delineation of cancer margins is critical for endoscopic curative resection. This study aimed to train and validate real-time fully convolutional networks for delineating the resection margin of early gastric cancer (EGC) under i...
BACKGROUND: Appropriate tissue tension and clear visibility of the dissection area using traction are essential for effective and safe endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). We developed a robotic assistive traction device for flexible endoscopy and...
