ABSTRACT
The introduction of submucosal fluid injection has remarkably extended the range of endoscopically resectable polyps. The limiting factor for endoscopic resection is not polyp size, but polyp depth. Endoscopic ultrasound is a useful adjunctive diagnostic tool to assess the depth of invasion. The success of are section ultimately depends on pathologic confirmation of a benign nature of this lesion or of a cancer limited to the mucosa. Selected well-differentiated cancers without lymphovascular invasion of the superficial submucosa can be successfully resected endoscopically.
