Core Tip

Core Tip: Advances in minimally invasive endoscopic resection techniques, including endoscopic mucosal resection, endoscopic submucosal dissection, endoscopic full-thickness resection and transanal endoscopic surgery, have revolutionized the management of T1 colorectal cancer (CRC); allowing for organ preservation while mitigating the associated morbidity of colorectal surgery. Herein we outline the pre-resection, resection and post-resection phases of care for T1 CRC including emerging techniques and adjuvant strategies for non-operative candidates.
