Abstract

Endoscopic resection has been established as one of the treatment options for selected cases of early gastric cancer in Korea. Yet the indications, best treatment methods, management of complications and follow-up methods after the procedure are still uncertain. Some large-scale multicenter studies have recently been reported in Korea. In this review, I will provide an overview of the recent published articles and future directions for endoscopic resection of early gastric cancer.

국내에서 조기위암에 대한 내시경절제술은 잘 선택된 환자에서 적용시 매우 좋은 성적을 보이는 치료법으로 중요한 치료로 자리를 잡았다. 그러나 내시경절제술의 적응증, 최선의 치료 술기, 합병증의 예방과 치료 및 추적관찰 등의 분야에서 아직 명확히 확립되지 못한 부분이 있다. 최근 국내에서 조기위암 내시경절제술에 대한 대규모의 다기관 연구의 성적들이 보고되지 시작하였다. 내시경 점막 절제술이 최소 침습 시술이고 수술과 달리 시술 후 장기 보존이 가능해 환자의 삶의 질이 우수하다는 점, 최근 내시경 시술과 기기의 발전으로 인해 절제 가능한 병변의 크기에 제한이 없어지고 있다는 점 등을 고려할 때 내시경 점막 절제술은 국내에서 조기 위암 치료의 중요한 치료 수단으로서 그 역할이 점차 확대될 것으로 기대된다. 본고에서는 조기위암 내시경 절제술에 대한 최근 국내 결과를 요약하고 향후 발전방향에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다.
