Endoscopic full-thickness resection for early colorectal cancer

Current international guidelines recommend endoscopic resection for T1 colorectal cancer (CRC) with histological low-risk features and oncologic resection for those at high-risk of lymphatic metastasis. Exact risk stratification is therefore crucial to avoid under- as well as over-treatment. Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) has shown to be effective for treatment of nonlifting benign lesions. In this multicenter, retrospective study we aimed to evaluate efficacy, safety and clinical value of EFTR for early colorectal cancer.
