Core Tip

Core Tip: This is a comment on an article that reported whether endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR)-precutting (EMR-P) is superior to conventional EMR (CEMR) for removing sessile colorectal polyps. It was a randomised, prospective, multicentre study with high-quality evidence, but we think that some questions remain as to whether EMR-P is superior to CEMR.
