Brief summary
Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is considered to be a gold standard of therapy of colorectal lateral spreading tumors (LST) without significant risk for lymphatic spread. According to the investigators previous study, local residual neoplasia (LRN) after conventional endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR)occurs in up to 21% of cases. Endoscopic therapy of LRN was not sufficient in 53 % and has not been standardized yet.
Interventions
Endoscopic treatment will be performed according to the type of local residual neoplasia (LRN): A - endoscopically negative scar and neoplastic tissue found only in biopsy specimens - treatment by argon plasmacoagulation, B - endoscopically aparent LRN \< 5 mm - forceps biopsy + argon plasmacoagulation, C - endoscopically evident LRN \> 5 mm + lifting during submucosal injection - endoscopic mucosal resectio + argon plasmacoagulation, D - endoscopically evident LRN \> 5 mm + non-lifting during submucosal injection - endoscopic submucosal disection (ESD) or surgical resection
