Abstract

The patient was a 61-year old man. He was admitted to our hospital due to two early carcinomas (0-IIc) of the esophagus. One located in the posterior wall, 33∼38cm distal to his incisor, and the other in the anterior wall, 33∼35cm distal. At first, we performed endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) of posterior lesion, because we prevent esophageal stricture. Three months later, we performed EMR of another one. Thereafter he did not develop esophageal stricture. We performed EMR in two stages for double early carcinoma located in the same level of esophagus, without esophageal stricture.
