摘　　要：Gastric cancer(GC)is the 5th most common cancer and the 3rd most common cause of cancer mortality worldwide.Two main endoscopic resective techniques exist for early GC(EGC):Endoscopic mucosal resection(EMR)and endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD).ESD has been widely embraced in the last decade because it allows radical en bloc resections and is associated with better outcomes,as compared to EMR.However,the lack of training opportunities and flat learning curve due to low volume of EGC cases represent major obstacles to obtain proficiency on ESD in the West.As this procedure is highly efficient for the treatment of EGC,dedicated training programs with a stepwise approach and updated guidelines for ESD embracement are needed in Western countries.
