Tu1169 ENDOSCOPIC SUBMUCOSAL DISSECTION OF SUPERFICIAL ESOPHAGEAL SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA - COMPARISON BETWEEN PATIENTS WITH AND WITHOUT HEAD AND NECK SQUAMOUS CELL CANCER

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the most common secondary tumor in patients with head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) with a reported mean incidence of 5-15%. An endoscopic surveillance protocol at our Institutions has yielded a 5.5% to 12.8% finding of ESCC (mostly superficial neoplasms) in this group of patients. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) currently is the preferred approach to manage superficial ESCC, enabling accurate en bloc resection with a lower recurrence rate and improved survival.
