Two Cases of Early Duodenal Cancer Treated Endoscopically

Abstract

We experienced two cases of early duodenal cancer treated endoscopicslly. The first case was a 79-year-old male with a flat elevated lesion at the second portion of the duodenum. Endoscopic resection using EMRC procedure was performed successfully with a good view and without perforation. The second case was a 79-year-old male with a protruded lesion at the second portion of the duodenum. After ligating the tumor with detachable snare, endoscopic resection was performed without bleeding and laser therapy was added for the residual lesion without complication. Both cases are free from the duodenal cancer up to now. We suppose that endoscopic treatment for early diodenal cancer can be performed safely and sufficiently using an adequate technique.
