Colorectal cancer – current possibilities of endoscopic treatment

06/2017 MUDr. Petr Vítek, Ph.D., MBA; MUDr. Ivana Mikoviny Kajzrlíková, Ph.D.
Endoscopic resection techniques include endoscopic polypectomy, endoscopic mucosal resection, endoscopic submucosal dissection and full-thickness resection. These resection methods are curative in cases of superficial invasive colorectal cancer provided that favourable prognostic criteria are met. Endoscopic placement of self-expandable metallic stent is preferred treatment for palliation of malignant colonic obstruction except in patients treated with antiangiogenic drugs. Endoscopic dilation is an effective treatment of colorectal anastomotic stenosis. Endosponge placement is beneficial for patients with colorectal anastomotic dehiscence and presacral cavity.
