EMR (Endoscopic Mucosal Resection)

General Information About the Test

EMR (Endoscopic Mucosal Resection) is a non-surgical, endoscopic procedure for removing early-stage cancers, precancerous lesions, and large polyps located on the innermost surface (mucosa) of the digestive system in the esophagus, stomach, or large intestine (colon).
