The Clinical and Endoscopic Characteristics, Treatment, and Long-Term Prognosis of Early Colorectal Cancer in Taiwan

Abstract

Most of the early colorectal cancer lesions could be removed successfully by endoscopic method without mortality and major morbidity. However, regular follow-up after treatment is recommended even after five years to reduce early colorectal cancer mortality and morbidity.

Endoscopic management of colonoscopic perforations (with videos)

“…14 • EMR: The risk of perforation after EMR is about 1 in 500 from pooled analysis of 17 reports. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] The low perforation rate (0.7%) may be related to submucosal injection before snaring and electrocautery and routine use of clips to approximate the mucosal defect. 32 • ESD: The risk of perforation after ESD can be as high as 1 in 20 (5%), although most were small and successfully treated by clips.…”
