SettingTertiary United States center14 Japanese centersUnited Kingdom single centerTertiary center, India
Patients (n)50336676
LesionsESD (n = 38), ESD + EMR (n = 11), EMR (n = 1)ESD (n = 96), EMR (n = 142)Hybrid ESD-assisted EMREMR (n = 5), ESD (n = 1)
En bloc resection (%)68%ESD: 97%, EMR: 89%ESD-EMR: 78%83.3%
R0 resection (%)Not specifiedNot specified94% (en bloc subset)83.3%
Perforation rate2%ESD: 6.3%, EMR: 0%3%None
Recurrence (%)18%Local: 2.7%, metachronous: 6.1%Local: 7%, metachronous: 0%1 case residual, treated
Follow-up duration3 years (median)34.7 months (median)18 months (median)Short-term
Key FindingsESD and hybrid feasible with minimal complications; recurrence similar across groupsLarge multicenter validation of ER in UC; higher perforation with ESD; no difference in recurrenceHybrid ESD-EMR enables resection in fibrotic ALMs; high R0 and low recurrenceCombined resection feasible in Indian setting; R0 achieved in 5/6; residual lesion managed endoscopically
