Table 3. Comparison of pathological diagnosis pre- and post-ESD.
Pre-ESD diagnosis | Pathological diagnosis of ESD resected specimen | ||
No dysplasia or LGD | HGD | EAC | |
LGD | 4 | 1 | 0 |
HGD | 1 | 6 | 4 |
EAC 1 | 0 | 2 | 14 |
ESD, endoscopic submucosal dissection; LGD, low-grade dysplasia; HGD, high-grade dysplasia; EAC, early esophageal carcinoma; EMR, endoscopic mucosal resection
2 intramucosal (T1a) EAC diagnosed on previous EMR histology (not biopsy diagnosis) were diagnosed as invasive (T1b) EAC on post-ESD histology
