(2) Methods: The clinical data of patients were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Inclusion criteria of the study were: a. patients with liver cirrhosis; b. patients who underwent ESD; c. patients who were diagnosed with early-stage cancer or precancerous lesions in the upper gastrointestinal tract. (3) Results: Eight patients were enrolled from April 2019 to April 2023, of whom three were male and ﬁve were female, with ages ranging from 43 to 70 years old. Seven lesions were located in the stomach and one other lesion was in the esophagus. ESD was performed successfully in all eight patients, and the resected lesion size ranged from 2 to 6 cm. Only one patient encountered postoperative complications, namely, chest pain and fever. No recurrence was noticed during a follow-up of 3 to 45 months. (4) Conclusions: ESD may serve asa safe and effective method for treating upper gastrointestinal early-stage cancer or precancerous lesions in patients with liver cirrhosis.  \nKeywords: early-stage cancer; precancerous lesion; endoscopic submucosal dissection; liver cirrhosis  \n1. Introduction  \nEsophageal and gastric cancers, which we call upper gastrointestinal cancers, are two of the most common cancers around the world with high incidence (ranking eighth and ﬁfth among all cancers, respectively) and mortality (ranking sixth and fourth among all cancers, respectively) rates, especially in Asian countries such as China, Korea, and Japan [1] . The overall 5-year survival rates of advanced esophageal and gastric cancer are lower than 30% even after comprehensive therapy such as surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, etc., while the rates exceed 90% when found at an early stage and treated timely [2,3] . With the development of patients' awareness and equipment of cancer screening, more and more early-stage cance","cbCaihukEmKaecMi","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihukEmKaecMi","pdf",959670,11,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction","[{\"question\":\"Why can ESD be difficult in patients with liver cirrhosis?\",\"answer\":\"ESD may be challenging because cirrhosis is associated with coagulation dysfunction, gastroesophageal varices, tissue vulnerability, and higher risk of related clinical complications.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the study conducted and who was included?\",\"answer\":\"Clinical data were retrospectively collected.
