- Colonoscopies for colorectal cancer screening often find large non-pedunculated colorectal polyps (LNPCPs), which can be effectively treated with Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR), though data on outcomes within screening programs are limited.
- A study reviewed 52 EMRs over 5 years, discovering a median polyp size of 25mm, with a small percentage showing adenocarcinoma and low complication rates.
- The results indicate that EMR successfully minimizes the need for surgery (92% avoided), with low recurrence rates and high patient compliance for follow-up surveillance, demonstrating its effectiveness in managing complex polyps.
