Short-term outcomes of endoscopic intermuscular dissection for early rectal cancer with deep submucosal infiltration: a single-center experience from China
This preliminary single-center experience suggests that EID may be a feasible technique for carefully selected cases of resecting early rectal cancer with deep submucosal infiltration, demonstrating acceptable rates of complete resection and reasonable short-term safety profiles. However, the small sample size, staging limitations, and short follow-up period mean that these findings require cautious interpretation. Larger multicenter studies with extended follow-up periods are necessary to establish the role of EID in the treatment algorithm for early rectal cancer.
