AB As  the  technology  continues  to  evolve,  endoscopy  has  become  not  only  an  imaging  modality  but  also  a  therapeutic  instrument  as  one  of  the  minimally  invasive  treatment  options.  Since  late  1960s,  when  gastric  polyps  were  first  removed  with  endoscopy  using  an  electrocautery  snare,  the  indications  have  been  expanded  parallel  with  improvements  in  endoscopic  techniques  as  well  as  the  development  of  new  endoscopic  devices.  In  this  chapter,  we  outline  the  indications  for  endoscopic  resection  of  early  gastric  cancer,  describe  three  major  endoscopic  techniques,  and  the  outcomes  of  endoscopic  treatment  including  major  complications  are  summarized,  followed  by  our  view  of  the  future  perspective  of  endoscopic  minimally  invasive  treatment.
