BACKGROUND: Video analysis has emerged as a potentially strategy for performance assessment of specialized techniques where local expertise and mentorship are limited…
Current guidelines advise esophagectomy for submucosal esophageal adenocarcinoma (T1b EAC). However, data from retrospective studies suggest that endoscopic follow-up (FU) may be a valid alternative in patients without signs of lymph node metastases (LNM) at baseline…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is standard of care for the management of large (≥20mm) non-pedunculated colonic polyps (LNPCPs). Its efficacy and cost effectiveness were limited by recurrence…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: EMR is the standard of care for the management of large (≥20mm) non-pedunculated colonic polyps (LNPCPs). However, its efficacy and cost effectiveness, are limited by recurrence and the necessity for scheduled surveillance…
The majority of non-malignant colorectal polyps (NMCPs) can be safely and efficiently endoscopically resected. Despite this, surgical resection is still frequently performed resulting in avoidable morbidity, mortality and health system costs…
Piecemeal endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is established as the preferred method for treatment of large (≥20mm) non-pedunculated colorectal polyps (LNPCP); however, it may not provide cure if low risk cancer (superficial submucosal invasion [SM1], low tumour grade and no lymphovascular invasion…
Optimal management following radical endoscopic resection (R0 ER) of T1 esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is still a matter of debate due to conflicting reports on the risk for lymph node metastases (LNM). In case of histological risk factors for LNM, i.e…
