Long-term outcomes of pT1 rectal cancer after transanal endoscopic surgery: again, a word of caution on high local recurrence — a cohort study
TES for pT1 rectal adenocarcinoma resulted in a 16.3% overall LR rate, and 14.8% among patients without known risk factors, emphasizing the need for improved patient selection and novel prognostic and therapeutic tools. These findings warrant confirmation in multicenter studies with standardized criteria and prolonged follow-up.
