Sa1236 Non Targeted Forceps Biopsy of Large Colonic Laterally Spreading Lesions Does Not Reliably Detect Advanced Dysplastic Change and May Increase the Complexity of Endoscopic Resection

Can artificial intelligence accurately diagnose endoscopically curable gastrointestinal cancers?

“…Biopsy, although commonly performed, is of limited clinical benefit. It is prone to false negativity due to sampling error and may complicate endoscopic resection by precipitating fibrosis [26,27]. Moreover, radiographic and endosonographic evaluations have limited ability to reliably differentiate clinically relevant depths of invasion and are prone to both under staging and over-staging [28À31].…”
