Preview

Endoscopic treatment of T1 colorectal cancer (CRC) has become technically feasible with the development of various endoscopic treatment techniques, such as endoscopic submucosal dissection and endoscopic full-thickness resection. A recent study revealed that endoscopic resection of T1 CRCs is acceptable prior to considering open surgery [1]. A multicenter retrospective study from Japan showed favorable long-term outcomes for endoscopic resection in patients with T1 CRC and a low risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM) [2]. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network [NCCN] guidelines recommend additional surgical resection with lymph node dissection for any T1b CRC, given the potential risk of LNM [3].
