Removing small rectal tumors with two endoscopic methods
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two minimally invasive ways to remove small rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), which are growths in the rectum that are usually not cancer. The goal is to find which method is safer and more effective with fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have a small rectal tumor (10 mm or less) that is likely a neuroendocrine tumor.
- You are willing to have the tumor removed using one of the two procedures (UEMR or ESD).
- You do not have other serious illnesses that could shorten your life.
- You have not had surgery for this tumor before.
- You are not pregnant and do not have mental health conditions that would make it hard to participate.

This study is testing whether a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure (using a scope through the anus) can safely remove small rectal neuroendocrine tumors. If you're eligible, this could be a less invasive way to treat your condition without major surgery.
This trial studies two ways to remove small rectal neuroendocrine tumors (slow-growing tumors in the rectum) using an endoscope. It aims to see which method works better and if it can be done safely and effectively without 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 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 a robotic-assisted endoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera) to remove early-stage tumors from the stomach, colon, or rectum without major surgery. It aims to see if this new robotic method is safe and effective.
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.
