Dear colleagues,
I would like to send my sincere thanks to all of you who enabled the ISDE to support the society’s mission to promote the exchange of scientific and medical knowledge of the esophagus among specialists in the field.
In 2020, we will be hosting the
World Congress for Esophageal Diseases
in Toronto, Canada from September 21-23. This is a fantastic opportunity for us all to join and share our experiences, knowledge and research. I really hope to see you there joining us all to further advance the clinical management and research of patients with esophageal diseases and to connect with peers.
On behalf of the ISDE Executive Committee

Open peroral endoscopic myotomy for the treatment of achalasia: a case series of 82 cases
DOTE Volume 32, Issue 10 | Featured Article
During peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM), creation of the tunnel is highly technically demanding and mucosal injury is one of the most common potential complications. The authors explored a method without a submucosal tunnel, which they call open peroral endoscopic myotomy (O-POEM). This study aimed to
assess the feasibility and safety of O-POEM
.

Should endoscopic mucosal resection be attempted for
cT2N0 esophageal cancer?
DOTE Volume 32, Issue 10| Featured Article
Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) can be an effective therapy for superficial esophageal cancer. Many patients with cT2 invasion by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) receive surgery but are subsequently found to have superficial disease. The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety profile and the added value of attempting EMR for EUS-staged cT2N0 esophageal cancer. A retrospective review was performed at a single institution from 2008 to 2017.
