Main description:

Early Neoplasias of the Gastrointestinal Tract: Endoscopic Diagnosis and Therapeutic Decisions is an update of the current standards and newest skills in diagnostic endoscopy for neoplastic lesions of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract. The volume defines strategies for detection and endoscopic assessment of small and minute early cancers and precursor lesions, including the endoscopic and endosonographic criteria for submucosal invasiveness. The book provides the knowledge in novel magnifying endoscopic analysis of early neoplasias fundamental to differential indication on snare mucosectomy, endoscopic submucosal dissection, or surgical/laparoscopic full-wall resection. Differential indications and contraindications for each technique are also specified.

Comprehensive and authored by internationally renowned experts in the field, Early Neoplasias of the Gastrointestinal Tract: Endoscopic Diagnosis and Therapeutic Decisions is a valuable resource that will improve the diagnostic skills of beginners as well as experienced endoscopists in endoscopic submucosal dissection.

Feature:

Useful to both beginning gastrointestinal endoscopists and experienced interventional endoscopists

Features numerous color illustrations and photographs

Authored by internationally renowned experts in the field
