Abstract
Gastric carcinoma of 23 lesions in 19 cases were endoscopically photocoagulated by Nd-YAG laser or argon laser.
After the first irradiation, 7 out of 23 lesions were observed to remain cancer cells. Cancer cells disappeared in 3 out of remained 7 lesions after the re-irradiation. Two of the remained 4 cases which were failed to treat were caused by technical problems and another 2 cases were like and I like advanced gastric cancers. Now, a total of 16 successful cases has been followed up and endoscopically observed no cancer lesion.
Endoscopic laser photocoagulation of early gastric carcinoma was effective to heal the lesion and will become one of the useful treatments for inoperable gastric carcinoma by resolution in some problems.
