[Endoscopic resection with local injection of HSE (ERHSE) in early gastric carcinomas].

We have developed a new therapeutic method of endoscopic resection with local injection of HSE (ERHSE) for the early gastric carcinomas. ERHSE was performed for a total of seventy eight lesions of seventy five cases. Seventy eight early gastric carcinomas consisted of IIc (35), IIa (32), I (6), IIa + IIc (4) and IIc + IIa (1). Ten cases out of 75 underwent gastrectomy, because the invasion of carcinoma was detected in the submucosa or to the resected margin. No evidence of local recurrence has been obtained in the sixty five cases treated by this method.
