Abstract |
Conventional endoscopic resection (CER) for early colorectal neoplasia (CRN) is widely accepted as a minimally invasive treatment. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was developed in Japan to resect larger lesions, but ESD was not covered by the Japanese national health insurance until April 2012. In addition, treatment strategies vary considerably among medical facilities. To evaluate the current situation in Japan regarding endoscopic treatment of CRNs measuring ≥20 mm, we conducted a prospective multicenter study at 18 medium-volume and high-volume specialized facilities in cooperation with the Japan Society for Cancer of the Colon and Rectum (JSCCR). |
