Summary

"Endoscopic mucosal resection is a new endotherapy technique that can avoid the need for open surgery in the treatment of many superficial gastrointestinal cancers. In this practical 'how-to' manual, experts in the field provide specific, technical guidance on all aspects of endoscopic mucosal resection relevant to therapeutic endoscopic practice." "The book provides an in-depth analysis of the technique, including methods and particularities that are not usually reported in scientific articles. Each chapter includes a comprehensive literature analysis and is supported by detailed illustrations, tables and photographs."--BOOK JACKET.
