Abstract: Cancers at an early stage of disease with a low risk of lymph node metastases or distant spread can be managed endoscopically. Different endoscopic techniques can be applied in the gastrointestinal tract. Furthermore, endoscopic and laparoscopic surgery can be combined in specific indications today. Most of all, resection-related complications can also be solved endoscopically.<br />Competing Interests: The authors declare no competing interests.<br /> (Copyright © 2017 by S.
