    Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the most common type of esophageal cancer, particularly prevalent in specific regions like Southern Africa and Japan.

  • 2

    Early detection and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) are critical for improving treatment outcomes in patients with ESCC.

  • 3

    The study analyzed 307 ESCC lesions from 188 patients to compare clinicopathologic features of initial, synchronous, and metachronous lesions.

  • 4

    Post-ESD management strategies for ESCC remain debated, with routine endoscopic surveillance being the standard approach.

  • 5

    Complications from ESD include perforation, pneumomediastinum, and bleeding, which are important considerations during treatment.
