Endocytoscopy for the differential diagnosis of colorectal low-grade adenoma: a novel possibility for the 'resect and discard' strategy

摘要

Background and Aims: Endocytoscopy, a next-generation endoscopic system, facilitates observation at a maximum magnification of x520. To our knowledge, no study has reported high-precision diagnosis of colorectal low-grade adenoma, endoscopically. We aimed to reveal which endocytoscopic findings may be used as indicators of low-grade adenoma and to assess whether a "resect and discard" strategy using endocytoscopy is feasible.
