Endoscopic Treatment for Local Residual Neoplasia

October 4, 2015 updated by: Premysl Falt, M.D., Ph.D., Vitkovice Hospital

Endoscopic Treatment for Local Residual Neoplasia After Endoscopic Mucosal Resection of the Colorectal Lateral Spreading Tumors (LST)

Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is considered to be a gold standard of therapy of colorectal lateral spreading tumors (LST) without significant risk for lymphatic spread. According to the investigators previous study, local residual neoplasia (LRN) after conventional endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR)occurs in up to 21% of cases. Endoscopic therapy of LRN was not sufficient in 53 % and has not been standardized yet.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
OTHER: Local residual neoplasia
Patients with local residual neoplasia in 3 months after endoscopic resection of colorectal lateral spreading tumors diagnosed endoscopically and/or histologically
Endoscopic treatment will be performed according to the type of local residual neoplasia (LRN): A - endoscopically negative scar and neoplastic tissue found only in biopsy specimens - treatment by argon plasmacoagulation, B - endoscopically aparent LRN < 5 mm - forceps biopsy + argon plasmacoagulation, C - endoscopically evident LRN > 5 mm + lifting during submucosal injection - endoscopic mucosal resectio + argon plasmacoagulation, D - endoscopically evident LRN > 5 mm + non-lifting during submucosal injection - endoscopic submucosal disection (ESD) or surgical resection
