Objective Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in a curative intent for submucosa-invasive early (T1) colorectal cancers (T1-CRCs) often leads to subsequent surgical resection case of histologic parameters indicating higher risk nodal involvement. In some cases, however, the expected benefit may be offset by risks, suggesting more conservative approach. Design Retrospective analysis consecutive patients with T1-CRC who underwent ESD at 13 centres ending inclusion 2019 (n=3373). Cases high...

Objective To evaluate the risk factors for lymph node metastasis (LNM) after a non-curative (NC) gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and to validate eventually refine eCura scoring system in Western setting. Also, assess rate parietal residual disease. Design Retrospective multicentre multinational study of prospectively collected registries from 19 centres. Patients who had been submitted surgery or at least one follow-up endoscopy were included. The was applied its accuracy...

Background Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) is an effective and safe technique for nonlifting colorectal lesions. Technical issues or failures with the device (FTRD) system are reported, but there no detailed data. The aim of our study was to quantify classify FTRD technical failures. Methods We performed a retrospective involving 17 Italian centers experience in advanced techniques required devices. Each center shared classified all prospectively collected consecutive during EFTR...

BACKGROUNDThe effectiveness of colonoscopy strictly depends on adequate bowel cleansing.Recently, a 1 L polyethylene glycol plus ascorbate (PEG-ASC) solution (Plenvu; Norgine, Harefield, United Kingdom) has been introduced the evidence three phase-3 randomized controlled trials, but it had never tested in real-life. AIMTo assess and tolerability preparation compared to 4 2 L-PEG solutions real-life setting. METHODSAll patients undergoing screening or diagnostic after 4, PEG preparation, were...

Introduction: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients have an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer. High-risk colitis-associated neoplasia (HR-CAN) can be difficult to treat using traditional endoscopic resection methods. Aim the study is evaluate outcomes submucosal dissection (ESD) on IBD with HR-CANs. Methods: In this retrospective multicenter study, we consecutively included referred expert Italian endoscopy centers who underwent ESD or hybrid-ESD (hESD) for Main were rate...

Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has emerged as the standard treatment for colorectal lesions. Considering global population ageing, we aimed to assess effectiveness and safety of ESD in patients aged ≥ 80 compared 65-79 on a large Western cohort. Methods: We retrospectively enrolled >64 years undergoing ESD, classifying them into Very Elderly Group (VE-Group, age>80 yo) group (E-Group, yo). Procedure outcomes were between VE-Group E-Group with comorbidities healthy...

Introduction: Recent studies showed that large language models (LLMs) could enhance understanding of CRC screening, potentially increasing participation rates. However, a limitation these is questions posed to LLMs are generated by experts. This study aims investigate the effectiveness ChatGPT-4o in answering screening queries directly patients. Methods: We enrolled ten consecutive subjects aged 50 69 years who were eligible for Italian national program but not actively participating....
