Summary
This study tests whether using a special imaging technique called Red Dichromatic Imaging (RDI) throughout the entire ESD procedure can reduce serious complications like bleeding and perforation, and shorten surgery time. About 640 adults with early stomach cancer or precancerous growths will be randomly assigned to standard imaging or full-time RDI. If successful, this simple change could make a complex procedure safer and more widely available.

Inclusion Criteria: * scheduled to undergo ESD for an early gastric cancer (the indication for ESD under current guidelines) * both genders aged 18-75 years * no pretreatment (ESD, surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy) performed on the stomach to be examined * platelet count of \>10×10\^9/L and hemoglobin count of \>8.0 g/L in blood tests performed in the 3 months before the ESD * "antithrombotic drugs" have been withdrawn for the period recommended by current guidelines * written consent provided at the patient's discretion Exclusion Criteria: * scheduled for hybrid ESD * scheduled for ESD due to multiple lesions * scheduled for treatment of lesions with residual recurrence * presence of submucosal tumors * unable to discontinue an antithrombotic drugs at the time of informed consent * inherited or acquired coagulopathy likely to affect the risk of bleeding * receiving maintenance dialysis * deemed unsuitable for participation in this study by the principal investigator or other investigators * unable to provide informed consent
