To minimize the possibility of developing lethal colorectal cancer (CRC) in ulcerative colitis
(UC) and Crohn's colitis, patients are usually enrolled in a program of dysplasia …

In the past decades, the perspective of diagnostic endoscopy has changed from diagnosing
evident disease to the detection of subtle abnormalities. Modern endoscopic practice …

Background The histological variability in colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CRC in
inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]) and the association to clinical factors is unknown …

Chromoendoscopy involves the use of stains or dyes during endoscopy to improve the
visualization and characterization of the gastrointestinal mucosa. Its main clinical application …

Patients with chronic colitis (ulcerative colitis or colonic Crohn's disease) have an increased
risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Although most of the molecular alterations reported in …

Advanced imaging techniques have provided the endoscopist with an armamentarium of
novel modalities for detection, characterization and microscopy of lesions during endoscopy …

BACKGROUND: Management of unifocal, flat, low-grade dysplasia (LGD) in ulcerative
colitis (UC) remains controversial. OBJECTIVE: To compare the relative costs and …
