Meta-analysis of 29 studies shows FTRD® could set new standard for endoscopic treatment in the colorectum with high R0 rate of 81.8%
Key findings
Pooled rate for R0 resection was 81.8% (95% CI 79-84.3%, I2 56%)
Pooled rate sub analysis for R0 resection of
Subepithelial lesions was 94.3% (95% CI 89.7-96.9%, I2 0%)
Polyps ≤ 20 mm was 80.4% (95% CI 77.4-83.2% I2 0%)
Polyps >20 mm was 59% (95% CI 40.1-75.6%, I2 76%)
Adenocarcinomas (T1) was 76.2% (95% CI 68.6-82.4%, I2 72%)
