TREATMENT OUTCOME OF ENDOSCOPIC SUBMUCOSAL DISSECTION FOR EARLY GASTRIC CANCER TREATMENT AT K HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To describe some clinical, paraclinical characteristics, endoscopic imaging, and histopathology of early gastric cancer, and to evaluate the results of endoscopic submucosal dissection treatment for early gastric cancer at K Hospital. Patients and Methods: A retrospective and prospective study on 147 patients with early-stage gastric cancer treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection from December 2018 to October 2024 at the Department of Endoscopy and Functional Exploration, K Hospital. Results: Males accounted for 62.6%, with the majority over 60 years old (57.1%). The most common clinical symptom was abdominal pain (72.8%). The tumor was located in the antrum in 86% of cases. Most lesions were ≤ 20mm in size (77.6%). The en bloc resection rate was 100%. The average procedure time was 67.2 minutes (ranging from 20 to 220 minutes). The intra-procedural bleeding rate was 2.0%, with no patients experiencing postoperative bleeding, perforation, or requiring surgical conversion during the procedure. Post-intervention characteristics revealed that most cases had high differentiation (44.2%), followed by moderate differentiation (38.1%). Most patients were in stage Tis (53.1%), with only 8.8% in stage T1b. The disease-free survival rates at 3 and 5 years were 97.2% and 90.5%, respectively. The overall survival rates at 3 and 5 years were 98.7% and 95.7%, respectively. Conclusion: Endoscopic submucosal dissection improves survival outcomes and is a safe treatment option for patients with early-stage gastric cancer.
