Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has become a standard therapy for early gastric cancer. The type of submucosal injection solution used during gastric ESD varies among endoscopists…

EUS-GBD with lumen apposing stent (LAMS) has been included in ESGE and ASGE guidelines for acute calculous cholecystitis for patients who are unfit for surgery. Whether to perform cholecystoscopy for stone removal and LAMS removal, or the LAMS should be kept for long term is still a controversy…

This session aims to explore the latest cutting edge development especially in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic technology in management of gastrointestinal tumors…
