Core Tip	Endoscopic submucosal dissection is safe and effective for early gastric cardia cancer. Magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging has superior diagnostic accuracy compared with white-light endoscopy (84.3% vs 70.6%). Despite a 27.0% noncurative resection rate due to the anatomical complexity of the cardia, selected low-risk noncurative resection patients can be safely managed with strict endoscopic surveillance.
