Interventions/Control_1

Intervention 1 (ACI group):
All procedures during ESD, including mucosal incision, submucosal dissection, and hemostatic treatment, are performed using Amber-red Color Imaging (ACI)

Interventions/Control_2

Intervention 2 (WLI group):
During endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), all procedures including mucosal incision, submucosal dissection, and hemostatic treatment in the event of bleeding are performed using white-light imaging (WLI) mode.
