About this trial
Randomized head-to-head comparison trial among patients who have undergone incomplete endoscopic resection of early colon cancer to evaluate the benefits, harms and burdens, as well as the ecological footprint and cost-effectiveness of endoscopic full thickness resection (eFTR), a minimally invasive endoscopic treatment with a colonoscope, as compared to standard-of-care surgery.
Co-primary endpoints are
* Rate of severe adverse events classified as grade III to V according to the Clavien Dindo classification within 30-days after study treatment * CRC recurrence or sign of lymph nodes or distant metastases at 3 years after randomization comparing the two treatment groups (eFTR versus surgery).
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers

No contraindication for colon surgery as deemed by the multidisciplinary tumor board (MTB) at the participating centre
Absence of the following histopathological tumor features: poor differentiation, lymphovascular invasion, tumor budding grade B2-B3.
No sign of disease beyond stage T1N0M0 on standard-of-care computed tomography imaging of the thorax, abdomen and pelvis41 and clinical evaluation
