E-learning accelerates improvement of endoscopists' proximal serrated polyp detection rate: a randomized controlled trial
Conclusion In an era of increased awareness and increasing PSPDRs, endoscopists who performed an one-time e-learning significantly accelerated the increase of PSPDR compared to endoscopists who did not receive the e-learning. Widespread implementation might reduce PCCRCs incidence. This trial was registered with the Netherlands Trial Register, number NL8385.PMID:38191001 | DOI:10.1055/a-2240-7823 (Source: Cancer Control)

A rapidly-growing colon polyp
A 54-year-old man underwent colonoscopy in our hospital which showed the presence of multiple polyps with a diameter in the range of 0.5 –1.0 cm in the entire colon, one of which was located in the sigmoid colon with a diameter of 0.5 cm, with a IIa type pit pattern (Fig. 1A). Polypoid growth (PG)-type tumor was considered. The patient was admitted to our hospital 7 months later due to personal reasons. During the operation, a s igmoid lesion which had grown to about 1.0 cm and exhibited a IIa+Is type pit pattern was found (Fig. 1B). (Source: Digestive and Liver Disease)

Computer-aided polyp characterization in colonoscopy: sufficient performance or not?
Clin Endosc. 2024 Jan 5. doi: 10.5946/ce.2023.092. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTComputer-assisted polyp characterization (computer-aided diagnosis, CADx) facilitates optical diagnosis during colonoscopy. Several studies have demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity of CADx tools in identifying neoplastic changes in colorectal polyps. To implement CADx tools in colonoscopy, there is a need to confirm whether these tools satisfy the threshold levels that are required to introduce optical diagnosis strategies such as "diagnose-and-leave," "resect-and-discard" or "DISCARD-lite." In this article, we review the available d...
