BACKGROUND: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is rapidly becoming a favored method for removing early esophageal cancer, but the residual defects can be complicated with strictures that require repeated endoscopic balloon dilatation. Measures for preventing the post-ESD strictures have been sought. We conducted a systematic review of recent studies to evaluate these methods. METHODS: We searched MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Embase, and Google Scholar until November 30, 2014. Included studies were prospective and retrospective one- and two-arm studies. All studies had to include at least on preventive method for post-ESD stricture. Thirteen studies were included in the review. RESULTS: Among the studies that used corticosteroids to prevent post-ESD stricture, we found that (1) injection of triamcinolone acetonide into the esophageal lesion resulted in a substantial reduction in the rate of stricture, and (2) the use of oral prednisolone was associated with a significantly reduced rate of dilatation sessions and stricture. Studies of other preventative measures included more recently developed scaffold-based and cell-based tissue-engineering approaches which seem very promising but require additional rigorously controlled studies to test their effectiveness. CONCLUSIONS: Until a safer and more effective method is developed, our review supports the use of corticosteroids, either through injection or oral route, together with endoscopic dilatation in prevention of post-ESD strictures.
