Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of endoscopic submucosal dissection for early colorectal cancer. From 2014 to 2020 at the N.N. Petrov National Medical Research Centre of Oncology, 165 patients with stage cTis-T1N0M0 colorectal cancer were treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection, including 103 women and 62 men aged from 29 to 89 years (mean age 64 years). A single block resection was achieved in all cases, regardless of size and location. Intra- and early postoperative complications were observed in 14 (8.4%) patients, there was no postoperative mortality. In the presented study, endoscopic submucosal dissection showed technical success in 100% of cases, with a risk of postoperative complications of 4.2% and appeared curative in 80.7% of cases. Thus, this technique can be recommended for the treatment of early colorectal cancer due to its high efficiency and safety.
