Background The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) has developed a
core curriculum for high quality optical diagnosis training for practice across Europe. The …

Diminutive colorectal polyps< 5 mm are very common and almost universally benign. The
current strategy of resection with histological confirmation of all colorectal polyps is costly …

The prevalence of cancer in small and diminutive polyps is relevant to “resect and discard”
and CT colonography reporting recommendations. We evaluated a prospectively collected …

Although hyperplastic polyps (HPs) were once believed to have a benign course with little
clinical significance, they are now recognized as part of a broader group of lesions known as …

Background and Aims Optical diagnosis (OD) of polyps can be performed with advanced
endoscopic imaging. For high-confidence diagnoses, a “resect and discard” strategy could …

Background and aims Dye-less chromoendoscopy is an emerging technology for colorectal
polyp characterization. Herein, we investigated whether the newly introduced I-scan optical …

Background: Optical diagnosis can replace histopathology of diminutive (1–5 mm) polyps if
surveillance intervals based on optical diagnosis of polyps have≥ 90% agreement with …

Introduction: Colonoscopy and endoscopic removal of precancerous polyps play an
important role in colorectal cancer (CRC) prevention. Improved endoscopes and quality …

Background: Endoscopic imaging is a rapidly evolving field with a constant influx of new
concepts and technologies. Since the introduction of video endoscopy and subsequently …

Background and Aims Optical diagnosis allows for real-time endoscopic assessment of
colorectal polyp histology and consists of the resect and discard and diagnose and leave …
