Abstract
FERREIRA-BOHORQUEZ, Edgar Julián; CALA-NORIEGA,, Carlos Hernando; VILLA-CORDOBA,, Juan David and GARCIA-AYALA., Ernesto. Endoscopic mucosal resection for early gastric cancer: A current alternative. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2021, vol.36, n.1, pp.126-129. Epub Oct 21, 2021. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.492.
Endoscopic mucosal resection has proven to be an effective alternative for the treatment of early gastric cancer. However, strict follow-up is necessary to ensure adequate management in the event of recurrence. This is the case of a 54-year-old patient with an incidental finding of early gastric carcinoma. He underwent endoscopic mucosal resection, with a final histopathology report compatible with early gastric adenocarcinoma and negative resection margins. Endoscopic and histopathological follow-up at 2 months showed negative results for malignancy.
