Relevance of R0 Resection to Reduce Local Recurrence After Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Colorectal Neoplasms: Results from a Spanish Cohort of 188 Cases
Aims Assess recurrence rate and disease-free survival time after colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (CR-ESD) of colorectal neoplasms (CN) in a Spanish cohort and compare both in relation to complete histologic R0 resection (free deep and lateral margins).
Methods Consecutive assessment of all CR-ESD for CN with at least one follow-up endoscopy performed by the same group of Spanish endoscopists in 3 tertiary centers from January 2013 to May 2020. Patients undergoing surgical resection due to major adverse event or elective procedure after non-curative pathology result were excluded (unable to verify local recurrence).
The disease-free survival time and the hazard ratio for recurrence risk were determinate using Kaplan-Meier and Nelson-Aalen method. The log-rank test was used to compare survival functions by groups. Statistical analyses were carried out using Stata v15.1.
Results A total of 188 CR-ESD were included ([table 1]). The mean follow-up period was 18.7 months (Range 3-83). Only 3 cases of local recurrence were identified. The 6-months recurrence rate was 0.5 % (CI95: 0.08-3.8 %), with statistical significative differences between R0 resection and R1 groups (log-rank test; 0 % vs 3.6 %, p=0.01).

Conclusions CR-ESD can be an effective technique for large CN resection, with a very low recurrence rate.
Achieving R0 resection (free deep and lateral margin at histology assessment) appears to be a determinant factor to avoid local recurrence. CR-ESD in European centers can accomplish similar outcomes (R0 and recurrence rate) to those described in large Japanese series.
