Comparison of endoscopic submucosal dissection and modified endoscopic mucosal resection for rectal neuroendocrine tumors.

ABSTRACT: Although some studies have compared the treatment outcomes between modified endoscopic mucosal resection (m-EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), the results are based on the experience of experts from a single high-volume center. This multicenter study aimed to compare the outcomes between m-EMR and ESD for rectal NETs, with emphasis on the operator's level. Data of patients with rectal NETs treated using m-EMR or ESD at seven institutions that included general hospitals in Japan were retrospectively reviewed. Patients treated using m-EMR and those treated using ESD were matched for age, sex, lesion size, lesion location, and operator level through propensity score matching. The treatment outcomes were compared between the two groups. In
