Core Tip	This study demonstrated that endoscopic resection for 1-1.5 cm well-differentiated rectal neuroendocrine tumors offers clinical outcomes comparable to those for tumors < 1 cm, with high rates of negative margins and no observed recurrence in the intermediate-size group. These findings support the feasibility of endoscopic treatment for 1-1.5 cm rectal NETs, address a key area of clinical uncertainty, and potentially expand the role of minimally invasive management in this subgroup.
