Early detection is the most powerful tool in the fight against gastrointestinal cancer. Dr. Yashavanth provides specialized Early GI Cancer Screening and ESD (Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection) in Nagarbhavi, a breakthrough technique that allows for the complete removal of early-stage tumors and polyps through an endoscope. This organ-preserving approach eliminates the need for traditional open surgery, ensuring a faster recovery and a better quality of life.
Early GI cancers may not cause obvious symptoms and are often detected during routine screening endoscopy. Early detection allows curative treatment, preserves organ function, reduces treatment-related morbidity, and significantly improves long-term survival rates.
Screening is advised for individuals with persistent digestive symptoms, anemia, unexplained weight loss, family history of GI cancers, chronic gastritis, Barrett’s esophagus, or long-standing inflammatory bowel disease. Timely screening enables early diagnosis and curative treatment.
Early endoscopic treatment avoids major surgery, preserves normal anatomy, shortens hospital stay, and ensures faster recovery. Advanced techniques such as ESD allow complete removal of early cancers with high precision and excellent long-term results.
If you are at risk for gastrointestinal cancer or have been advised screening or early cancer treatment, book an appointment with Dr. Yashavanth H S for expert evaluation and advanced endoscopic care. Early detection and treatment offer the best chance for cure and long-term health.

ESD is an advanced, minimally invasive procedure used to remove deep-seated tumors or early-stage cancers from the gastrointestinal tract. Unlike standard polypectomy, ESD allows Dr. Yashavanth to remove the entire lesion in one piece, which is crucial for accurate diagnosis and preventing recurrence.
Gastrointestinal cancers (Esophagus, Stomach, and Colon) often show no symptoms in their early stages. Regular screening, especially for those over 40 or with a family history, allows us to catch growths when they are still "precancerous" or in Stage 0, where they can be cured without major surgery.
No. The procedure is performed internally through an endoscope while you are under sedation or general anesthesia. Because there are no external incisions or cuts on the skin, post-operative pain is minimal compared to traditional surgery.
Traditional surgery often involves removing a portion of the organ (like the stomach or colon). ESD is organ-preserving, meaning only the diseased tissue is removed, leaving the rest of the organ intact and functioning normally.
Most patients can be discharged within 24 to 48 hours. Since there are no external wounds to heal, you can typically return to your normal routine and a light diet within just a few days.
ESD is ideal for patients with early-stage gastrointestinal tumors, large polyps, or superficial cancers that have not yet spread to deeper layers or lymph nodes. Dr. Yashavanth will perform a detailed endoscopic ultrasound or "Staging" to confirm if ESD is the best path for you.
