Endoscopic mucosal resection is currently being used as a treatment for esophageal mucosal cancer because the procedure is minimally stressful for patients. On the other hand, it is risky to undergo an extensive operation if the patient is on maintenance hemodialysis due to chronic renal failure.Esophageal mucosal cancer was found by gastrointestinal endoscopy in a 66-year man, with no complaints, who had been on maintenance hemodialysis for 2 years. Other examinations revealed no metastasis and, the case was thus indicated for endoscopic mucosal resection. This procedure was safely performed without complications and the patient was discharged on the 7th postoperative day.Endoscopic mucosal resection for a hemodialysis patient has not previously been reported in Japan.This report also discusses the procedure and important postoperative issues for hemodialysis patients.
