Endoscopic Full Thickness Resection Versus Standard Therapy of the Colorectal Neoplasia
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Most of the cancers develop from the adenomatous polyps. The therapeutic methods have been established already - endoscopic polypectomy (EPE) for stalked polyps and endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for non-pedunculated polyps. EMR is preferred in European countries over ESD because of its higher feasibility. However, the local residual neoplasia (LRN) after EMR has been reported in 14 - 24 % cases. There is a higher LRN risk in sessile polyps which do not elevate sufficiently after the submucosal injection (non-lifting sign) and the piece-meal resection needs to be used. Therefore, the new method of endoscopic full-thickness resection (FTR) has been developed to resect these lesions.
