Therapie kolorektaler Frühkarzinome – pro endoskopische Submukosadissektion
摘要
Colorectal neoplasms require adequate diagnosis and therapy.
ObjectiveIndication for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in early colorectal neoplasms and comparison with other resection methods.
Materials and methodsLiterature review and discussion of current national and international treatment guidelines, highlighting the advantages of ESD in early colorectal cancer.
ResultsEarly colorectal neoplasms require precise diagnosis before resection. High-resolution endoscopy including digital chromoendoscopy is central. Neoplasms must be classified according to the Paris, laterally spreading tumor, and Japan narrow band imaging expert team (JNET) classifications. Indications for ESD are flat polyps over 2 cm in diameter with nongranular or mixed granular surface structure, and irregular microsurface or vascular pattern (JNET 2B). For these lesions, ESD is preferable to other resection techniques. Cancer diagnosis is usually established through histological examination of the resected specimen. If a low-risk situation for lymph node metastases exists (grading 1/2, lymphovascular invasion 0, vascular invasion 0, tumor budding 1, residual tumor 0, submucosal invasion < 1000 µm), no further therapy is required. New methods such as endoscopic intermuscular dissection (EID) or artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms could improve pretherapeutic diagnosis, facilitate the ESD procedure, and expand indications for endoscopic en bloc resection.
