(A)The image obtained at 3 weeks after the ESD without steroid injection (at the time of the endoscopy shown in Figure 2D). In accord with the endoscopic finding, severe stricture is observed (white arrow). (B) The image obtained at 8 weeks after the ESD followed by steroid injection (at the time of the endoscopy shown in Figure 4B).
