Endoscopic mucosal resection is an endoscopic technique used to remove cancerous or other abnormal lesions found in the lining of the digestive tract. It is performed by first injecting saline beneath the lesion to lift it away from the deeper tissue layers before removing it, a method first published in 1973.
