Abstract
This document from the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) provides a full description of the methodology used in the review of the evidence used to inform the final guidance outlined in the accompanying Summary and Recommendations document regarding the role of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in the management of early esophageal and gastric cancers. This guideline used the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation framework and specifically addresses the role of ESD versus EMR and/or surgery, where applicable, for the management of early esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), and gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) and their corresponding precursor lesions. For ESCC, the ASGE suggests ESD over EMR for patients with early-stage, well-differentiated, nonulcerated cancer >15 mm, whereas in patients with similar lesions ≤15 mm, the ASGE suggests either ESD or EMR. The ASGE suggests against surgery for such patients with ESCC, whenever possible. For EAC, the ASGE suggests ESD over EMR for patients with early-stage, well-differentiated, nonulcerated cancer >20 mm, whereas in patients with similar lesions measuring ≤20 mm, the ASGE suggests either ESD or EMR. For GAC, the ASGE suggests ESD over EMR for patients with early-stage, well or moderately differentiated, nonulcerated intestinal type cancer measuring 20 to 30 mm, whereas for patients with similar lesions <20 mm, the ASGE suggests either ESD or EMR. The ASGE suggests against surgery for patients with such lesions measuring ≤30 mm, whereas for lesions that are poorly differentiated, regardless of size, the ASGE suggests surgical evaluation over endosic approaches.

Abstract
Background Few studies showed that mixed type early gastric cancer (EGC) relates to higher risk of lymph node metastasis. We aimed to explore the clinicopathological feature of GC according to different proportions of undifferentiated components (PUC) and develop a nomogram to predict status of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in EGC lesions. Methods Clinicopathological data of the 4,375 patients who underwent surgically resection for gastric cancer in our center were retrospectively evaluated and finally 626 cases were included. We classified mixed type lesions into five groups (M1:0% < PUC ≤ 20%, M2:20%<PUC ≤ 40%, M3:40%<PUC ≤ 60%, M4:60%<PUC ≤ 80%, M5:80%<PUC < 100%). Lesions with 0% PUC were classified as pure differentiated group (PD) and lesions with 100% PUC were classified as pure undifferentiated group (PUD). Results Compared with PD, LNM rate was higher in group M4 and group M5 (p < 0.05 after Bonferroni correction). Differences of tumor size, presence of lymphovascular invasion (LVI), perineural invasion and invasion depth also exist between groups. No statistical difference of LNM rate was found in cases who met the absolute endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) indications for EGC patients. Multivariate analysis revealed that tumor size over 2 cm, submucosa invasion to SM2, presence of LVI and PUC level M4 significantly predicted LNM in EGC. With the AUC of 0.899(P < 0.05), the nomogram exhibited a good discrimination. Internal validation by Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed a good fitting effect in model (P > 0.05). Conclusion PUC level should be considered as one of the predicting risk factors of LNM in EGC. A nomogram that predicts the risk of LNM in EGC was developed.

Abstract
Gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is established for management of early gastric cancer (EGC). Diagnosis of EGC relies on adequate endoscopic assessment involving lesion size, histopathology, presence of ulceration, and depth of invasion. Absolute indications for endoscopic resection of EGC are if patients are presumed to have a less than 1% risk of lymph node metasta endoscopic submucosal dissectionsis, and long-term outcomes are similar to those with surgical gastrectomy. Duodenal ESD is more technically difficult and requires expertise in ESD in other locations.

Abstract
Endoscopic resection has been widely applied especially in endoscopic submucosal dissection and third space endoscopy (TSE). Flexible endoluminal robotics allow performance of endoscopic submucosal dissection with exposure of the submucosal plane for precise dissection using two robotic arms. The introduction of TSE revolutionized the horizon of therapeutic endoscopy to the submucosal space beneath and beyond the mucosa. Advantages of TSE include avoidance of full thickness incision in gastrointestinal tract through the submucosal tunneling for performance of peroral endoscopic myotomy and submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection. In future, robotic-driven devices should be developed to enhance performance of complex endoluminal procedures and TSE.

Abstract
Optimal management of esophageal and gastric cancer during the perioperative period requires a coordinated multidisciplinary treatment effort. Accurate staging guides treatment strategy. Advances in minimally invasive surgery and endoscopy have reduced risks associated with resection while maintaining oncological standards. Although the standard perioperative chemo-and radiotherapy regimens have not yet been established, randomized control trials exploring this subject show promising results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for anastomotic lesions is technically challenging due to severe fibrosis, deformity, staples, and limited space for procedure. We aimed to characterize the clinicopathological characteristics, feasibility, and effectiveness of ESD for anastomotic lesions of the upper gastrointestinal tract. METHODS We retrospectively investigated 43 patients with lesions involving the anastomoses of the upper GI tract who underwent ESD from April 2007 to February 2021. We collected clinicopathological characteristics, procedure‑related parameters and outcomes, and follow‑up data and analyzed the impact of anastomotic involvement. RESULTS The median duration from previous upper GI surgery was 60 months and the median procedure duration was 30 min. The rate of en bloc resection and en bloc with R0 resection was 90.7% and 81.4%, respectively. Two patients (4.7%) experienced major adverse events, including delayed bleeding and febrile episode. During a median follow-up of 80 months, 3 patients had local recurrence and 4 patients had metastases. The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 89.6% and 95.1%, respectively. Compared with the unilaterally involving group, the straddling anastomosis group had significantly longer procedure duration, larger specimen, lower rates of en bloc resection and en bloc with R0 resection, and shorter DFS and OS (all P < 0.05). However, rates of adverse events did not differ significantly between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS The short‑ and long-term outcomes of ESD for upper GI anastomotic lesions were favorable. Although with technically challenging, ESD could be performed safely and effectively for anastomotic lesions.

Abstract
Surgery still represents the mainstay of treatment of all stages of gastric cancer (GC). Surgical resections represent potentially curative options in the case of early GC with a low risk of node metastasis. Sentinel lymph node biopsy and indocyanine green fluorescence are novel techniques which may improve the employment of stomach-sparing procedures, ameliorating quality of life without compromising oncological radicality. Nonetheless, the diffusion of these techniques is limited in Western countries. Conversely, radical gastrectomy with extensive lymphadenectomy and multimodal treatment represents a valid option in the case of advanced GC. Differences between Eastern and Western recommendations still exist, and the optimal multimodal strategy is still a matter of investigation. Recent chemotherapy protocols have made surgery available for patients with oligometastatic disease. In this context, intraperitoneal administration of chemotherapy via HIPEC or PIPAC has emerged as an alternative weapon for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. In conclusion, the surgical management of GC is still evolving together with the multimodal strategy. It is mandatory for surgeons to be conscious of the current evolution of the surgical management of GC in the era of multidisciplinary and tailored medicine.

Abstract
Simple Summary Conventional gastrectomy combined with regional lymph node dissection has been the standard treatment for early gastric cancer (EGC). This retrospective case–control study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and surgical resection for EGC in China. After propensity score-matching, there were no significant differences between the two groups for OS, RFS, and DSS. Additionally, with similar R0 resection and recurrence rates, the ESD group showed less blood loss, fewer adverse events, lower hospital cost, and a shorter operative time and hospital duration than the surgery group. Therefore, ESD can be a first-line treatment of EGC in addition to surgery. Abstract Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has become a preferred treatment option for early gastric cancer (EGC). This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of ESD and surgical resection for EGC. Methods: This was a retrospective case–control study. Patients with a diagnosis of EGC who underwent ESD or surgery in our hospital from 2011 to 2020 were enrolled. We compared the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of these two groups according to propensity score-matching. The primary outcome comparison was overall survival (OS). Secondary outcomes were disease-specific survival (DSS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and treatment-related events. Results: In the matched cohort, the ESD group showed comparable OS, RFS, and DSS with the surgery group. Statistical differences were shown in blood loss and adverse events. Furthermore, the ESD group showed lower hospital cost, as well as a shorter operative time and hospital duration than the surgery group. The R0 resection and recurrence rates were similar between the two groups. In Cox regression analysis, age, tumor size, poor differentiation, and lymphovascular invasion were regarded as independent factors of OS. Conclusions: With sufficient safety and advantages, ESD can be a first-line treatment of EGC. Preoperative evaluation is vital to the appropriate treatment and prognosis.

Abstract
Background Endoscopic forceps biopsy (EFB) lacks precision in diagnosing indeterminate tumors. When the presence of early gastric cancer (EGC) is macroscopically suspected, but biopsy pathology fails to give a diagnosis of neoplasia, it causes problems in clinical management. The purpose of this study was to discuss the outcome of gastric indeterminate tumors and the clinical factors associated with predicting EGC. Methods The medical records of 209 patients diagnosed with gastric indeterminate neoplasia by biopsy forceps were retrospectively studied. Initial endoscopic findings were analyzed and predictors of EGC were evaluated. Results The final pathological diagnosis in 209 patients included adenocarcinoma (n = 7), high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (n = 11), low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (n = 21), and non-neoplastic lesion (n = 170). Multivariate analysis showed that older age (OR = 1.78; 95% CI = 1.17–2.71; p = 0.008), patients undergoing narrow band imaging (NBI) (OR = 3.40; 95% CI = 1.37–8.43; p = 0.008), and surface erosion (OR = 3.53; 95% CI = 1.41–8.84; p = 0.007) were associated with the upgraded group, and were significantly associated with risk. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that among patients with NBI, the presence of demarcation line (DL) (OR = 24.00; 95% CI = 4.99–115.36; p < 0.0001), microvascular (MV) pattern irregularity (OR = 9.129; 95% CI = 2.36–35.34; p = 0.001), and the presence of white opaque substance (WOS) (OR = 10.77; 95% CI = 1.14–101.72; p = 0.038) were significant risk factors. Conclusions For gastric indeterminate tumors, older patient age, lesion surface with erosion, clear DL visible under NBI observation, presence of WOS, and irregular MV pattern are suggestive of the high possibility of neoplasia and need to be focused on and may benefit more from endoscopic resection treatment as opposed to simple endoscopic follow-up.

Abstract
Background and Aim Endoscopic resection (ER) is the preferred approach to treat early gastric cancer (EGC) in patients without suspected lymph node involvement and that meet the criteria for ER. Surgery is a more aggressive treatment, but it may be associated with less recurrence and the need for reintervention. Previous meta-analyses comparing ER with surgery for EGC did not incorporate the most recent studies, making accurate conclusions not possible. Methods This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to examine complete resection, length of hospital stay (LOHS), adverse events (AEs), serious AEs, recurrence, 5-year overall survival (OS), and 5-year cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with EGC. Results A total of 29 cohorts studies involving 20559 patients were included. The ER (n = 7709) group was associated with a lower incidence of AEs (RD = -0.07, 95%CI = -0.1, -0.04, p < 0.0001) and shorter LOHS (95% CI -5.89, -5.32; p < 0,00001) compared to surgery (n = 12850). However, ER was associated with lower complete resection rates (RD = -0.1, 95%CI = -0.15, -0.06; p < 0.00001) and higher rates of recurrence (RD = 0.07, 95%CI = 0.06; p < 0.00001). There were no significant differences between surgery and ER in 5-year OS (RD = -0.01, 95%CI = -0.04, 0.02; p = 0.38), 5-year CSS (RD = 0.01, 95%CI = 0.00, 0.02; p < 0.17), and incidence of serious AEs (RD = -0.03, 95%CI = -0.08, 0.01; p = 0.13). Conclusions ER and surgery are safe and effective treatments for EGC. ER provides lower rates of AEs and shorter LOHS compared to surgery. Although ER is associated with lower complete resection rates and a higher risk of recurrence, the OS and CSS were similar between both approaches.
