New technique for removing large rectal growths
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a newer, possibly faster method (ESISD) for removing a certain type of large, flat growth in the rectum, compared to the standard method (CESD). It may be an option if you have a growth that is not too deep and is easy to reach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a large growth (at least 20 mm) in your rectum that is flat with raised bumps.
- The growth is located 0 to 15 cm from the anal opening.
- Tests (like an endoscopic ultrasound) show the growth is likely not deep and has a very low risk of spreading to lymph nodes.
- You are healthy enough to have the procedure and have signed a consent form.

This trial tests a new robotic system to remove large, flat growths in the rectum without traditional surgery. It may help people who have early-stage rectal tumors that are too big for standard removal methods.
This trial compares two procedures to remove large, non-cancerous growths from the lower rectum. It aims to see which method is safer and more effective for patients with these specific types of growths.
This trial tests a special device that helps doctors remove large or tricky growths from the colon or stomach during a procedure called ESD. It may be an option if you have a growth that could not be removed before, is a certain size, or looks like it might be growing deeper.
This trial studies how safe and effective a procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is for treating certain early, superficial stomach (gastric) growths. It may be an option if your growth fits the endoscopy criteria and you are not a good candidate for stomach surgery.
This trial tests a new flexible tube that becomes stiff to help doctors remove large or complex colon lesions during an endoscopic procedure. It may help people with certain types of flat or scarred growths that are harder to remove safely.
This study looks at people who are having an advanced endoscopic removal (a special scope procedure) to treat a growth in the rectum. The goal is to understand how well these procedures work and help improve care.
