Abstract

Background: Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is an alternative to surgery for treatment of large colonic laterally spreading lesions (LSL) but has been criticised for its potentially high recurrence rates. Objective: To evaluate if extended wide-field EMR (XWF-EMR) is superior to standard EMR for the prevention of recurrence.
