121 injection-assisted versus underwater endoscopic mucosal resection without injection for the treatment of colorectal laterally spreading tumors: interim analysis of an international multicenter randomized controlled trial

Underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) without submucosal injection has emerged as an alternative technique to conventional injection-assisted endoscopic mucosal resection (CEMR) for the treatment of laterally spreading tumors (LSTs) in the colon. However, little data exists comparing the two techniques. Our aim was to compare the outcomes and safety of UEMR versus CEMR.
