Sa1269 LATERAL EXTENSION OF ESOPHAGOGASTRIC CANCER UNDER THE SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM

With the advancement in endoscopic equipment, superficial carcinoma of the esophagogastric junction is more frequently detected and more likely to be treated with endoscopic treatment in recent years than in previous years in Japan. However, it is difficult to diagnose the lateral extension of esophagogastric cancer when these lesions extend under the squamous epithelium.
