Colonoscopic resection of lateral spreading tumours: a prospective analysis of endoscopic mucosal resection

Colonoscopic resection of lateral spreading tumours: a prospective analysis of endoscopic mucosal resection.

BACKGROUND Lateral spreading tumours are superficial spreading neoplasms now increasingly diagnosed using chromoscopic colonoscopy. The clinicopathological features and safety of endoscopic mucosal resection for lateral spreading tumours (G-type "aggregate" and F-type "flat") has yet to be clarified in Western cohorts. METHODS Eighty two patients underwent magnification chromoscopic colonosco...

Endoscopic mucosal resection.

EMR has become an established therapeutic option for premalignant and early-stage GI malignancies, particularly in the esophagus and colon. EMR can also aid in the diagnosis and therapy of subepithelial lesions localized to the muscularis mucosa or submucosa. Several dedicated EMR devices are available to facilitate these procedures. Adverse event rates, particularly bleeding and perforation, a...

Endoscopic Mucosal Resection – A Comprehensive Review

Aiming at much better quality of life by similar mortality rates, research has been focused on developing of new techniques. EMR for early – stage esophagus, gastric and colorectal cancers, under strict control of several specific criteria, may replace conventional standard surgical treatment. It is well recognized that early detection of gastrointestinal cancers is one of the most important fa...

An Effective Technique for Endoscopic Resection of Advanced Stage Angiofibroma

Introduction: In recent years, the surgical management of angiofibroma has been greatly influenced by the use of endoscopic techniques. However, large tumors that extend into difficult anatomic sites present major challenges for management by either endoscopy or an open-surgery approach which needs new technique for the complete en block resection.   Materials and Methods: In a prospective obse...
