    Abstract:
    Endoscopic therapies for the treatment of cancers of the digestive tract have been improved. Today, some early cancers can be curatively treated by endoscopy (endoscopic polypectomy, endoscopic mucosal resection, heatprobe method, etc.). In addition, endoscopic local injection chemotherapy is performed for some advanced cancers as an adjuvant therapy. Recent progress in endoscopic therapies for cancer is reviewed in this paper, including their historical background. Improvements in these endoscopic treatment methods are expected to provide increased advantages for the treatment of patients with cancer in the near future.
