OLYMPUS REVIEWED THE FOLLOWING LITERATURE: "ENDOSCOPIC FULL-THICKNESS RESECTION VERSUS ENDOSCOPIC SUBMUCOSAL DISSECTION IN THE TREATMENT OF COLONIC NEOPLASTIC LESIONS = 30 MM¿A SINGLE-CENTER EXPERIENCE." LITERATURE SUMMARY: THE PURPOSE OF THE ANALYSIS WAS TO EVALUATE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF FULL-THICKNESS RESECTION (FTR) IN THE TREATMENT OF COLORECTAL LESIONS = 30 MM BY COMPARING PROSPECTIVELY FOLLOWED FTR COHORT TO RETROSPECTIVE SUBMUCOSAL DISSECTION (ESD) COHORT IN THE SETTING OF SINGLE TERTIARY ENDOSCOPY CENTER. PRIMARY OUTCOMES WERE TECHNICAL SUCCESS RATE, R0 RESECTION AND CURATIVE RESECTION RATE, AND COMPLICATION RATE. A TOTAL OF 52 PATIENTS IN FTR AND 50 PATIENTS IN ESD GROUP WERE TREATED BETWEEN 2015 AND 2018. TECHNICAL SUCCESS RATE WAS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER IN FTR GROUP (92 VS. 74%, P = 0.01) AS WELL AS R0 RESECTION RATE (85 VS. 62%, P = 0.01) AND CURATIVE RESECTION RATE (75 VS. 56%, P = 0.01). COMPLICATIONS OCCURRED MORE FREQUENTLY IN ESD GROUP (40 VS. 13%, P = 0.002), MAINLY DUE TO HIGH INCIDENCE OF ELECTROCOAGULATION SYNDROME (24 VS. 0%). TOTAL PROCEDURE TIME WAS SUBSTANTIALLY SHORTER IN FTR GROUP (26.4 ± 11.0 MIN VS. ESTIMATED 90¿240 MIN). LOCAL RESIDUAL NEOPLASTIC LES
