Efficacy of EndoClot? Spraying After Endoscopic Resection of Large Colorectal Polyps: A Randomized Trial

摘要

2021 SEP 21 (NewsRx) - By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Disease Prevention Daily - Staff editors report on the newly launched clinical trial, NCT05029934, which has the following summary description: "The effectiveness of colonoscopy in reducing colorectal cancer mortality relies on the detection and removal of neoplastic polyps. Effective and safe resection of larger polyps is particularly important due to their higher potential of malignancy. Large polyps 20mm are removed by so-called endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) (and occasionally endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD)) using electrocautery snares. Resection of these large polyps is associated with a risk of severe complications that may require hospitalization and additional interventions. The most common risk is delayed bleeding which is observed in approximately 2-10% of patients. In a recent randomized trial, clipping has been shown to reduce bleeding esp. on the right colonic side.
