Summary
Endoscopic resection is effective for intermediate rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) measuring 1.0-1.5 cm, showing high success rates and no recurrence. This organ-preserving approach offers a viable alternative for carefully selected patients.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Oncology
- Endocrinology
Background:
- Management of intermediate-sized rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) remains challenging.
- Endoscopic resection is standard for small NETs, but its role in larger lesions is less defined.
