Patient selection for endoscopic resection is based on meticulous endoscopic examination and histological assessment so as to avoid performing this procedure on patients with a high risk of lymph node involvement or metastatic disease. Currently, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is used for tumors <2 cm, and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) should be considered for tumors >2 cm. The advantage of ESD is that it achieves en‐bloc resection of larger tumors, potentially reducing the risk of disease recurrence. J. Surg. Oncol. 2013;107:243–249. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
