Objectives: Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) has
been widely used in early gastrointestinal malignancies and
precancerous lesions. We aim to analyze the outcomes of EMR for
gastrointestinal precancerous lesions.
Materials and Methods: A total of 1,518 cases were
retrospectively analyzed. Of these, 59 patients had undergone
EMR for gastrointestinal lesions. The lesions were divided into
two subgroups according to size; smaller than 20 mm and equal or
larger than 20 mm. The mucosal aspect (Kudo pit pattern), Paris
classification of the resected lesions and recurrences that were
determined during close follow-up were recorded.
Results: A total of 94 polyps were resected in 59 patients.
En-block resection was performed in 42 (71.2%) patients and
piecemeal resection in 17 (28.8%). There was no significant
difference between two modalities; regarding age, gender,
histopathology, complications, recurrence or macroscopic type
(P>0.05). However, the occurrence of Kudo type 4 lesions and
adenomatous polyps (P=0.001) was significant in the >20 mm
group (P=0.03).
Conclusion: Endoscopic mucosal resection is a safe and
feasible procedure for precancerous lesions, with low complication
and acceptable recurrence rates. Additionally, the Kudo pit pattern
should be taken into consideration on a routine basis when
determining the risk of cancer.
