Comparing two endoscopic methods for large rectal growths
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures to remove large, non-cancerous or early-stage growths in the rectum. The goal is to see if one method is safer or more effective, which may help you avoid more invasive surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a large (at least 20 mm) growth in your rectum that is a specific type called granular mixed nodular laterally spreading tumor.
- The growth is located within 15 cm of the anal opening.
- Tests suggest the growth is very early-stage with low risk of spreading to lymph nodes.
- Your doctor determines you are suitable for endoscopic removal.
- You agree to participate and sign a consent form.

This trial compares two minimally invasive ways to remove large, flat growths from the lower rectum — one done through a scope and one through a small surgical tool. The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective at removing the growth completely.
This trial tests a new robotic system to remove large, flat growths in the lower part of the rectum that are too big for standard removal. The goal is to remove the growth completely in one piece, which may help avoid more invasive surgery.
This trial tests whether using a special traction device during endoscopic removal of small rectal neuroendocrine tumors is safer or more effective than the standard method. It may help patients with these tumors have a less invasive treatment.
This study compares two ways of removing very small rectal neuroendocrine tumors (less than 1 cm): a modified technique using a special snare (mDS-EMR) versus a more involved removal called ESD. Both are done through a scope (endoscopy) without major surgery.
This study compares two minimally invasive endoscopic techniques—ESD and EPMR—for removing small neuroendocrine tumors (slow-growing hormone-producing tumors) in the rectum. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for patients.
This trial is for people with large (20-60 mm), non-cancerous colon growths on a wide base. It compares two endoscopic removal methods—ESD and EMR—to see which works best.
