Endoscopic mucosal resection reduces residual or recurrent adenoma: Study
According to recent study findings ,in clinical practice, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR-T) is a simple, inexpensive and highly effective auxiliary technique that is likely to significantly reduce residual or recurrent adenoma at first surveillance. Researchers confirmed that it should be universally employed for the management of colorectal polyps after EMR. The findings have been published in Gastroenterology.
Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) performed via colonoscopy is a comparatively new therapy for advanced mucosal neoplasia of the colon. It was proven to be safe and effective for removal of laterally spreading and sessile adenomas up to 100 mm in size in a large multicentre prospective study.
Large sessile colonic lesions were traditionally managed surgically that remains commonplace.Endoscopic mucosal dissection has been pioneered in the East and is an emerging alternative modality.Thermal ablation of the defect margin after endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR-T) for treating large (≥ 20mm) non-pedunculated colorectal polyps (LNPCPs) has shown efficacy in a randomized trial, with a four-fold reduction, in residual or recurrent adenoma (RRA) at first surveillance colonoscopy (SC1). The clinical effectiveness of this treatment, in the real world, remains unknown.
