Abstract:Aims No consensus regarding the optimal endoscopic resection approach for rectal neuroendocrine tumors (R-NETs) measuring 10-20 mm, this study aims to investigate this issue. Methods Patients with R-NETs underwent either endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The primary endpoint was the complete resection rate, and the secondary endpoints were surgery-related complications and long-term outcomes. Results 96 patients met the inclusion criteria, 84 patients completed endos… Show more
