Conduite a tenir apres resection endoscopique d'un polype pedicule degenere Management of pedunculated early colorectal cancers after endosocopic resection

摘要

Early colorectal cancer discovered after endoscopic polypectomy is either intramucosal or submucosal. Surgery should be discussed only in case of submucosal invasion, as intramucosal colorectal cancer bears no risk of node or distant dissemination. Four histological criteria allow a decision of surgery or no surgery in case of pedunculated polyp with submucosal invasion.
