Recently, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) has become the first choice of treatment for superficial esophageal cancer without metastasis. However, EMR is not safe for all patients. Argon plasma coagulation (APC) is a noncontact electrocoagulation technique that creates tissue damage. The risk of bleeding may be lower with APC than with EMR. Therefore, we selected APC for the treatment of patients with superficial esophageal cancer who could not undergo EMR. The aim of the present study was to describe these cases and analyze the results of this treatment.
