Endoscopic resection is a treatment of choice for a metachronous early-stage esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) appearing after a radical cure of esophageal cancer by chemoradiotherapy (CRT). However, non-curative resection, and procedural complications including perforation due to radiation-...
