Comparison of 0.4% Hyaluronic Acid Solution Versus Hydroxyethylamide Solution in Submucosal Endoscopic Resections
30 patients around the world
Available in Brazil
1. Design of the study:
This is a randomized clinical trial in a single center. The lesions will be randomized
into three blocks based on the diameter of the largest axis (less than 3 cm, between 3 -
5 cm and greater than 5 cm).
2. Selection of patients:
The population studied will be patients with early esophageal neoplasia diagnosed and/or
referred for submucosal endoscopic dissection at the São Paulo Cancer Institute (ICESP),
University of São Paulo.
3. Evaluation of effectiveness and definitions:
Effectiveness will be measured from the degree of usefulness. The degree of utility will be
determined from two variables: obtaining or not a complete block resection and additional
number of submucosal injections performed during endoscopic dissection. The solution that
results in a complete block resection with a number of additional injections of 0 (excellent
utility degree) or 1 (good utility degree) will be considered effective.
