Patients who undergo endoscopic mucosal resection typically have a quick recovery. The procedure is minimally invasive and does not require surgery. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days. Recovery times may vary depending on the individual patient and the extent of their cancer.
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a more complex form of EMR that is used to remove larger areas of abnormal tissue. ESD is a newer technique that is not as widely available as EMR. It is more invasive than EMR and requires a longer recovery time, however, it has a higher success rate for the removal of larger areas of cancerous tissue.
Both EMR and ESD are effective treatment options for early-stage cancers. The decision of which procedure to use depends on the individual patient and their tumor. Your doctor will evaluate your case and recommend the best treatment option for you.
