Objective:
To compare the clinical efficacy, prognostic factors, and survival impact of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) versus endoscopic submucosal resection (ESR) in patients with colorectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs).
Methods:
This retrospective study analyzed 118 patients with colorectal NETs treated from January 2012 to December 2020. Patients were divided into the ESD group (n=59) and the ESR group (n=59) based on the surgical treatment method. We assessed the surgical efficacy, long-term survival, and factors influencing tumor recurrence using logistic regression analysis with clear criteria for group division.
Results:
En bloc resection, complete histological resection rates, and postoperative complications did not significantly differ between groups (P > .05). In the 33 patients with recurrence, those with tumor diameter < 10 mm, tumor grade G1, and negative resection margins were significantly fewer (P < .05). Logistic regression identified tumor diameter, grade, and resection margin status as significant predictors of recurrence (P < .05). There was no significant difference in distant metastasis, survival rates, and mortality between the groups (P > .05).
Conclusions:
ESD and ESR offer high clinical efficacy in treating colorectal NETs without significantly impacting prognosis or long-term survival. ESD, however, may be more suited for larger tumors due to its precise tissue removal capability. Future research should explore the long-term outcomes over 3 and 5 years to further validate these findings.
