A highlight of the program was the live presentation by Prof. Kouichi Nonaka on Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) in early cancer treatment. The professor provided a detailed step-by-step demonstration of the procedure, from lesion assessment, marking, and submucosal injection to meticulous layer-by-layer dissection. His live demonstration of diagnostic endoscopy in the stomach and colon, as well as the ESD procedure for removing a broad-based polyp, was performed on the advanced Olympus EVIS X1 CV-1500 endoscopy system.
