Abstract
The current standard treatment for muscularis propria-invasive (T2) colorectal cancer is surgical colectomy with lymph node dissection. With the advent of new endoscopic resection techniques, such as endoscopic full-thickness resection or endoscopic intermuscular dissection, T2 colorectal cancer, with metastasis to 20%-25% of the dissected lymph nodes, may be the next candidate for endoscopic resection following submucosal-invasive (T1) colorectal cancer. We present a novel endoscopic treatment strategy for T2 colorectal cancer and suggest further study to establish evidence on oncologic and endoscopic technical safety for its clinical implementation.
期刊介绍:
Gut and Liver is an international journal of gastroenterology, focusing on the gastrointestinal tract, liver, biliary tree, pancreas, motility, and neurogastroenterology. Gut and Liver delivers up-to-date, authoritative papers on both clinical and research-based topics in gastroenterology. The Journal publishes original articles, case reports, brief communications, letters to the editor and invited review articles in the field of gastroenterology. The Journal is operated by internationally renowned editorial boards and designed to provide a global opportunity to promote academic developments in the field of gastroenterology and hepatology.
Gut and Liver is jointly owned and operated by 8 affiliated societies in the field of gastroenterology, namely: the Korean Society of Gastroenterology, the Korean Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, the Korean Society of Neurogastroenterology and Motility, the Korean College of Helicobacter and Upper Gastrointestinal Research, the Korean Association for the Study of Intestinal Diseases, the Korean Association for the Study of the Liver, the Korean Pancreatobiliary Association, and the Korean Society of Gastrointestinal Cancer.
