Core Tip	Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is widely accepted as a local treatment for gastric cancer, particularly for early gastric cancer. Consequently, this procedure can preserve the entire stomach and the patient’s postoperative quality of life. Therefore, ESD may demonstrate many advantages in patients who have several comorbidities. However, it is not yet clear whether patients with both early gastric cancer (EGC) and comorbidities are feasible candidates for ESD and whether they would consequently be able to achieve a survival benefit after ESD. In this review, we discuss the clinical problems of ESD in EGC in elderly patients and patients with comorbid conditions.
