Long-Term Outcomes of Additional Surgery for T1 Colorectal Cancer

Study comparing long-term outcomes of patients treated with additional surgery after endoscopic resection versus primary surgery for T1 colorectal cancer found no adverse effects on overall survival rates. The 5-year survival rates were 97.1% in the additional surgery group and 96.0% in the primary surgery group, indicating non-inferiority. Additionally, recurrence rates showed no significant difference between the two groups. Endoscopic resection remains a viable treatment option for T1 colorectal cancer patients.
