New snare technique may offer faster, safer tumor removal
NCT ID NCT07373015
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two ways to remove small rectal neuroendocrine tumors (less than 1 cm). The new method, called modified double snare EMR, is expected to be just as effective as the standard ESD procedure but with shorter operation time, fewer complications, and lower cost. About 118 adults with these tumors will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures to see which works better.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Typical rectal neuroendocrine tumors by endoscopy (within 15cm from the anal verge, yellowish subepithelial elevation with a smooth surface, and dilated blood vessels in some areas). 2. The maximum diameter of the lesion is smaller than 1cm by preoperative endoscopic assessment. 3. Lesion is located within the mucosal and submucosal layer by preoperative endoscopic assessment. 4. Patients can understand and sign the informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Poor coagulation function(PT\>15 seconds or APTT\>45 seconds or INR\>2.0) 2. With severe cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases and cannot tolerate operation( with a history of stroke or myocardial infarction within the past month or with severe heart failure and cardiac function grade III) 3. Indication of metastasis by preoperative imaging examinations 4. With more than or equal to 2 rectal neuroendocrine tumors 5. With other complications that are not suitable for this study by multidisciplinary team assesment 6. Cases of recurrence after operation for neuroendocrine tumors
