Over-the-scope clips (OTSC) have shown promise in these patients although their precise role remains uncertain.

Aims: To confirm the role of OTSC in patients with UGIB at high risk of re-bleeding.

Goals: The main aim of this study was to investigate the significance of a pale area via flexible spectral imaging color enhancement (FICE) in the diagnosis of esophageal dysplasia and cancer.

Background: The early diagnosis of esophageal squamous cancer is challenging, and the indication of Lugol's chromoendoscopy has not yet been well established.

Study: The esophageal mucosa of patients at our endoscopic center were sequentially evaluated with white-light endoscopy and FICE during insertion of the endoscope, followed by staining with Lugol's solution during withdrawal.
