Abstract | PURPOSE: Recently, endoscopic mucosal resection has been performed commonly for colorectal tumors. However, incomplete endoscopic mucosal resection produces a residual tumor that grows rapidly. The aim of this study was to clarify the characteristics of the residual tumor using the nude mouse model. METHODS: RESULTS: CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that residual tumors caused by incomplete endoscopic mucosal resection may have a higher growth potential than the tumors before resection.
