Battle of the scalpels: which early rectal cancer surgery wins?
NCT ID NCT02885142
First seen Nov 18, 2025 · Last updated Jun 17, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study compared two procedures for removing early-stage rectal cancer and non-cancerous growths: endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM). Researchers wanted to see which method more completely removes the tumor. The study planned to include 368 adults with early rectal cancer or rectal adenomas, but it was terminated early. Both techniques aim to avoid major surgery while effectively treating the disease.
