Endoscopic (EID) Versus Surgical (TAMIS) Local Excision for Early Stage Rectal Cancer (ENSURE)

22 сентября 2026 г. обновлено: Barbara Bastiaansen, Amsterdam UMC, location VUmc

Endoscopic Intermuscular Dissection Versus Transanal Minimally Invasive Surgery for Local Excision of Early Rectal Cancer: a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

In this clinical trial, we compare the endoscopic technique, endoscopic intermuscular dissection (EID), with the surgical technique, transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) for the treatment of early stage rectal cancer. The aim of this study is to investigate whether one of them leads to better outcomes.

Researchers will focus particularly on:

  • How effectively each technique completely removes the cancer
  • How quickly patients recover after treatment and whether complications occur
  • Outcomes after three years (does the cancer go away, or does it come back?)
  • The impact of both techniques on bowel function and quality of life

Participants will:

  • Be randomly assigned to receive either surgical or endoscopic treatment for their rectal cancer
  • Keep a diary twice a day to record pain symptoms and recovery during the first 30 days after treatment and complete questionnaires within a 3 year period
  • Visit the clinic for follow-up appointments within a 3 year period

Подробное описание

In the Netherlands, more than 3,000 people are diagnosed with rectal cancer each year. Approximately one-third of these patients have early-stage disease (cT1-2N0M0). Due to the low risk of lymph node metastasis, these cancers are potentially suitable for local, organ-preserving treatment. If histological analysis confirms complete removal without high-risk features, major rectal surgery can be avoided. For suspected deep submucosal invasive cancer of the rectum, a local excision (LE) can be performed by gastroenterologists using EID or by surgeons using TAMIS. Although both LE approaches are considered standard treatment for early stage rectal cancer (T1b), they have never been directly compared. This national study aims to compare the efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of these two approaches. Should both techniques prove equally effective at completely removing rectal T1b, EID may offer a less burdensome and more cost-effective treatment option.

Вмешательство/лечение
Активный компаратор: Endoscopic intermuscular dissection (EID)

A participant randomly allocated to the EID arm will undergo an EID procedure at one of the participating study centres. Pre-procedural preparation and perioperative management will follow the standard-of-care protocols. The EID procedure will be performed according to the procedure definition and study protocol.
Процедура: Endoscopic Intermuscular Dissection (EID)

EID is an endoscopic local excision technique used for the resection of early-stage rectal tumours. The procedure uses a flexible endoscope to dissect between the inner (circular) and outer (longitudinal) muscles of the m. propria leaving the outer rectal wall layers intact. It is performed under conscious sedation by a gastroenterologist.
Активный компаратор: Transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS)

A participant randomly allocated to the TAMIS arm will undergo a TAMIS procedure at one of the participating study centres. Participants will be prepared according to the standard-of-care protocol. TAMIS will be performed as a full-thickness approach according to the procedure protocol; however, for lesions located in areas with limited or absent mesorectal fat, a full-thickness excision should be avoided. In these cases, an intermuscular approach may be adopted. The planned dissection plane (full-thickness or intermuscular) will be determined by the study steering committee based on preoperative radiographic and endoscopic assessment.
Процедура: Transanal Minimally Invasive Surgery (TAMIS)

TAMIS is a minimally invasive transanal surgical technique used for the local excision of early-stage rectal tumours. A transanal platform is inserted into the anus to allow access with laparoscopic instruments. The procedure may be performed using a full-thickness or an intermuscular approach, based on tumour characteristics and surgical planning. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia by surgeons.

Dissection plane evaluation
Временное ограничение: Assessed immediately after local excision procedure

The rate of concordance between the definitive dissection plane and initially intended dissection plane prior to local excision (e.g., presence of longitudinal m. propria following an intended intermuscular dissection) will be evaluated. Only CRC pathologists trained within the PATCH study will assess the EID and TAMIS specimens to minimize interobserver variability.

Quality of local excision specimen
Временное ограничение: Assessed immediately after local excision procedure

The quality of local excision specimens will be reviewed by a CRC pathologist for segment fragmentation, margin assessment, and the presence of muscularis propria underneath the invasive front (circular/longitudinal). Histological handling and evaluation of the resection specimen will be performed at participating centers according to standard care procedures. Only CRC pathologists trained within the PATCH study will handle EID and TAMIS specimens to minimize interobserver variability.

Временное ограничение: Functional outcomes will be measured via LARS scores within a period of 12 months.

Functional outcomes will be measured using the validated Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS) score at baseline, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. The LARS score is 5-question survey tool used to measure bowel dysfunction after rectal cancer surgery. Total points range from 0 to 42, in which a higher scores indicate more severe symptoms and poor bowel functionality.

The QLQ-C30 contains 30 questions that measure the health-related quality of life of cancer patients. All of the scales and single-items range from 0 to 100. A higher score for the functioning scales and global health status implies a better level of functioning. Higher scores on the symptom and single-item scales indicate a higher level of symptoms. Questionnaires will be sent at baseline, 1, 3, 12, and 36 months. All questionnaires will be sent at predefined intervals electronically or collected on paper forms.
Questionnaires will be completed within a period of 3 years.
Health related quality of life (QLQ-CR29)
Временное ограничение: Surveys will be completed within a period of 3 years.

Health related Quality of Life (QoL) will be assessed using the validated Quality of Life Questionnaire - Colorectal Research 29 (QLQ-CR29). This survey contains 29 questions regarding burden of symptoms, side effects, body image, and sexual functioning. Scores scale from 0-100 with higher scores on symptom scales indicating a higher symptom burden, while higher scores on functional scales indicate better functionality. Questionnaires will be sent at baseline, 1, 3, 12, and 36 months. All questionnaires will be sent at predefined intervals electronically or collected on paper forms.
Surveys will be completed within a period of 3 years.
Health related quality of life (EQ-5D-5L)

The EQ-5D-5L assesses health across five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension is rated on a five-level scale from 1 (no problems) to 5 (extreme problems), with higher scores indicating greater impairment in the respective health dimension.

The EQ-5D-5L will be completed at baseline and at 1, 3, 12, and 36 months post-procedure. Questionnaires will be completed electronically or, where necessary, using paper forms.
