Core Tip

Core Tip: The incidence of laterally spreading tumors (LSTs) is continually increasing; however, the optimal strategy for resecting large colorectal LSTs is still under debate. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and surgery each have their pros and cons. In this work, we demonstrated that it is highly recommend that non-granular pseudodepressed (NG-PD) and granular nodular mixed LSTs are removed through ESD, and given their substantial risk for deep submucosal invasion, surgery needs to be considered in NG-PD LSTs located in the rectosigmoid, especially those with positive non-lifting signs.
