Event Description

Olympus reviewed the following literature titled, "modified cap-assisted endoscopic mucosal resection versus endoscopic submucosal dissection for the treatment of rectal neuroendocrine tumors #10 mm: a randomized noninferiority tria".Introduction: although recent guidelines recommend endoscopic resection of rectal neuroendocrine tumors (net) =10 mm, there is no consensus on which endoscopic modality should be performed.We aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of modified cap-assisted endoscopic mucosal resection (memr-c) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (esd) methods for the treatment of rectal net =10 mm.Methods: a randomized noninferiority trial comparing memr-c and esd was conducted.The primary outcome was the histological complete resection rate; the secondary outcomes included en bloc resection rate, operation time, complications, and so on.Subgroup analyses and follow-up were also performed.Results: ninety patients were enrolled, and 79 patients with pathologically confirmed rectal net were finally analyzed, including 38 cases of memr-c and 41 cases of esd.Histological complete resection rate was 97.4% in the memr-c group and 92.7% in the esd group.The noninferiority of memr-c compared with that of esd was confirmed because the absolute difference was 4.7% (2-sided 90% confidence interval, -3.3% to 12.2%; p = 0.616).En bloc resection and successful removal of rectal net were achieved in all patients.Advantages of memr-c over esd included shorter operation time (8.89 ± 4.58 vs 24.8 ± 9.14 minutes, p < 0.05) and lower hospitalization cost ($2,233.76 ± $717.70 vs $2,987.27 ± $871.81, p < 0.05).Postoperative complications were recorded in 4 patients who received memr-c and 2 patients in the esd group (11.5% vs 4.9%, p = 0.509), which were all well managed using endoscopy.Similar findings were observed when subgroup analysis was performed.Type of adverse events/number of patient: bleeding (n = 5).Perofration (n = 1).This literature article requires 2 reports.The related patient identifiers are as follows: (b)(6)(for mh-593).(b)(6)(for kd-655q).This medwatch report is for patient identifier (b)(6).There is no report of any olympus device malfunction in any procedure described in this study.
