Popis: Endoscopic resection for early gastric cancer (EGC) plays a central role in the treatment of EGC in Japan. However, there is still room for improvement, and it is necessary to summarize the recently obtained knowledge from Japan for further improvement.We conducted a PubMed search to select relevant articles in the 5 years until September 18, 2016, using the keywords "gastric cancer" and "endoscopic treatment," "endoscopic submucosal dissection," "endoscopic mucosal resection," or "polypectomy" and filtering article types as "clinical study" or "clinical trial."Among the 329 articles selected automatically from the keywords "polypectomy" (1 article), "endoscopic mucosal resection" (29 articles), "endoscopic submucosal dissection" (77 articles), and "endoscopic treatment" (222 articles) in combination with "gastric cancer," 32 relevant articles from Japanese investigators were chosen. Seven articles were categorized into "equipment," 4 into "preparation and sedation," 17 into "complications and their prevention," and 4 into "therapeutic outcomes." Among them, COEndoscopic resection for EGC is still developing toward an ideal form, pursuing a more reliable, safer, and faster minimally invasive treatment.
