Endoscopic and Histopathology Characteristics in Patients with Esophageal High-Grade Intraepithelial Neoplasia

Conclusion: This study confirms that lesion size #x3e; 2 cm, depressed and excavated patterns, and ≤4 biopsy samples are independent risk factors for histological grade changes compared to pre-endoscopic treatment diagnosis. Similarly, leukoplakia and no Lugol staining of lesions are independent risk factors for non-curative resection.Dig Surg
