Injection-Assisted Cold Snare Polypectomy Versus Endoscopic Mucosal Resection for Small Colorectal Polyps

NCT02678663 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 164

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Complete resection of neoplastic polyps is pivotal, as 8.8% to 50% of interval cancers may arise as a consequence of incomplete polypectomy. However, the ideal method to remove small colorectal polyps remains uncertain. The investigators designed a randomized controlled trial to assess whether injection-assisted cold snare polypectomy may be noninferior to EMR for the resection of small (6-10mm) colorectal polyps.

Conditions
