Comparison of Captivator Tissue Cassettes vs. no Cassettes for Endoscopic Mucosal Resection in Esophageal Carcinoma

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Esophageal Neoplasms

In brief

The main purpose of this study will be to two-fold; firstly to determine whether the use of a Captivator tissue cassette has an effect on the preservation of tissue histology (minimizing artifactual curling) , and secondly to determine whether the use of a intraprocedural cassette is practical. The investigators believe that this will greatly aid in elucidating the best technique for optimizing performance of EMR for esophageal lesions.
