Study description

Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in France and the second most common in terms of mortality. As a possible alternative to surgery (colectomy), large polyps (>2 cm) can benefit from minimally invasive endoscopic resection techniques such as submucosal dissection.

The main objective is to evaluate the real-life efficiency at 2 years, based on a cost/effectiveness analysis expressed in cost per life year gained, of endoscopic resection using submucosal dissection versus laparoscopic colectomy in the treatment of large superficial colonic lesions from the perspective of the French healthcare system.

The DISCO study is based on SNDS data linked to data from the FECCo registry, which includes all individuals who have undergone Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection. The study period includes patients from 2019 with follow-up until 2024. The DISCO study is designed under the Target Trial Emulation framework.

If submucosal dissection is shown to be more effective than colectomy, offering monobloc endoscopic resection by this approach for benign lesions or superficial colorectal cancers would avoid major surgery, thereby limiting scarring and speeding up recovery. This would thus improve patients' quality of life and reduce the costs associated with hospitalization, time off work, and the management of complications.
