Sa2049 ENDOSCOPIC RESECTION FOR LEIOMYOMA OF SUBMUCOSAL TUMORS ORIGINATING FROM THE MUSCULARIS PROPRIA LAYER IN THE ESOPHAGOGASTRIC JUNCTION

The lesions in esophagogastric junction (EGJ) are difficult for treatment. The operative resection of the gastric cardia causes the diminishment of quality of life. The endoscopic treatment has been developed for the resection of submucosal tumors (SMTs). The techniques of endoscopic resection for the SMTs originating from the muscularis propria (MP) layer mainly include endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection (STER). The safety and efficacy of ESD and STER for EGJ SMTs has been demonstrated.
