Esophageal Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection in Older Patients Is Safe and Feasible : A Retrospective Single-Center Cohort Study in the United States

BACKGROUND: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a well-established method for treating early esophageal carcinomas. However, data on the safety and efficacy of esophageal ESD in older patients in the United States are limited.

METHODS: This retrospective study investigated the outcomes of esophageal ESD in patients aged ≥80 years and included those who underwent esophageal ESD between June 2018 and April 2023 at a single center in the United States. Patients were divided into two age groups for comparison: ≥80 and <80 years. Treatment outcomes and complications were evaluated and compared between these groups.

RESULTS: A total of 53 cases of esophageal ESD for malignant neoplasms were included, with 12 patients in the ≥80 years age group. No significant differences were observed in the patients' background and characteristics, except for a prior history of interventions (p = 0.04). The en bloc resection rate was 100% in both groups. The R0 resection rate was lower in the ≥80 years age group (75% vs. 88%). There were no complications requiring additional intervention in the ≥80 years age group, such as post-ESD bleeding, perforation, mediastinal emphysema, or pneumonia.

CONCLUSIONS: Esophageal ESD may be a safe and feasible procedure for treating esophageal carcinomas in older patients.
