First seen Apr 23, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a newer, less invasive surgery for low rectal cancer called endoscopic transanal proctectomy (ETAP) against the standard laparoscopic surgery. 226 adults with non-spread rectal cancer took part. The goal was to see if ETAP removes cancer just as completely while possibly leading to fewer complications, less need for open surgery, and a quicker recovery.
