Endoscopic submucosal dissection for the diagnosis and therapy of pedunculated gastric cancer with prolapse into the duodenal bulb: A case report

It was reported that ESD for early gastric cancers that met the expanded criteria was acceptable and should be the standard treatment instead of gastrectomy. The expanded criteria included cancer confined to the mucosa (cT1a), a single primary intestinal-type gastric adenocarcinoma, an ulcer-negative lesion of any size. We reported a case of pedunculated gastric cancer with prolapse into the duodenal bulb that could be treated by ESD. The present case is a good example of diagnostic ESD being used to minimize the damage of gastric cancer treatment.
