Abstract
Early screening for gastrointestinal cancers may enable detection of anomalies at very early stages before neoplasia permeates into the deeper submucosal layer and beyond. All detected lesions should be studied further to gain valuable information. While most newer electronic image enhancing modalities perform no better than white light endoscopy in the detection of colorectal neoplasia, there are many options available for assistance in defining the microvascular architecture of colorectal polyps. Advanced endoscopic imaging and a step-by-step methodological approach can often aid in the characterization of colorectal polyps before a decision is made to proceed with endoscopic resection.
