Official Title: Outcomes of Endoscopic Resection in the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term outcomes of Endoscopic Resection (ER) of superficial lesions of the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract(UGIT)

Detailed Summary: Endoscopic resection (ER) of superficial lesions of the upper gastrointestinal tract is a safe and effective surgery-sparing modality in experienced hands. It is often curative of dysplastic lesions and is associated with minimal complications and high patient acceptance (1-5). Westmead Hospital has accumulated a significant amount of experience in the removal of such lesions; however, there is limited research to document the long term outcomes of patients undergoing endoscopic resection.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term outcomes of ER of superficial lesions of the UGIT.
