Tu1515 OUTPATIENT ENDOSCOPIC SUBMUCOSAL DISSECTION FOR THE TREATMENT OF EARLY GASTRIC CANCER IN A REFERENCE CENTER FOR ELDERLY PATIENTS IN S ÃO PAULO-BRAZIL

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is considered the procedure of choice in the treatment of early gastric cancer (EGC) in selected cases. It offers advantages over open or laparoscopic surgery because of the minimally invasive approach, organ preservation, higher postoperative quality of life, lower medical costs and with a similar efficacy in terms of oncologic aspects. The cure rates described in the Japanese literature are about 88% -90%. Despite very low levels of major complications, ESD is usually performed as an inpatient procedure, in a range of 2 to 7 days in both eastern and western centers.
