Resumen
Presentamos el caso de un paciente de alto riesgo quirúrgico con adenocarcinoma gástrico precoz en que la mucosectomía aislada no estaba indicada dado el tamaño de la lesión, por lo que se aplicó la combinación de 2 terapias endoscópicas, resección endoscópica con asa y electrocoagulación con argón plasma. Cuatro años después el paciente está asintomático.
We report a patient at high surgical risk with an early gastric adenocarcinoma. Due to the size of the tumor, endoscopic mucosal resection alone was not feasible and consequently a combination of endoscopic resection with polypectomy snare and argon plasma coagulation was applied. Four years later the patient remains asymptomatic.
