Su1115 LONG-TERM OUTCOME (MORE THAN 5 YEARS FOLLOW-UP PERIOD) AFTER ENDOSCOPIC RESECTION FOR ESOPHAGEAL SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA INVADING THE MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE

Numerous studies on esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) have shown that lymph node metastasis occurs in 4.0% to 18.2% of cases with invasion of the muscularis mucosae. According to the Japanese guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of esophageal cancer, tumors invading the muscularis mucosae are relative indications for endoscopic resection (ER). Several studies have shown relatively good outcomes of ER for ESCC invading the muscularis mucosae. However, the median follow-up periods in those studies were less than 5 years.
