We applied a newly developed endoscopic resection technique for a rectal mucosal cancer of 4.2 cm. This method resulted in a curable treatment and provided precise information for histological examinations. This technique, using IT‐knife, may involve the risk of bleeding and perforation compared with conventional methods. Further improvements are needed to make this technique safer and more reliable for a standard endoscopic method for large colorectal tumors.
