Wide hot snare polypectomy outperforms other methods for small tumors

In a study assessing salvage treatments for rectal neuroendocrine tumors (RNETs) under 10 mm, wide hot snare polypectomy (WHSP) showed superior outcomes. Of 121 patients analyzed, WHSP achieved an impressive 72.7% R0 resection rate compared to other methods. With a focus on effectiveness and safety, WHSP emerged as a rapid and straightforward approach for these small tumors, especially in patients without additional risk factors, highlighting its potential as a preferred salvage technique.
