Article Synopsis
- Sessile serrated lesions (SSLs) have a 4.0% prevalence in Asia, with no significant differences among sex or age groups.
- This study analyzed data from 2,898 participants to identify factors that influence SSL detection, including the use of linked-color imaging (LCI), experienced endoscopists, and a transparent cap.
- Key findings indicate that the detection of SSLs improves with better imaging technology, more skilled endoscopists, longer procedure times, and other related factors.
Introduction: We investigated coexisting lesion types in patients with invasive colorectal cancer (CRC) in a multinational study for comprehending the adenoma-carcinoma and serrated pathway about the development of CRC.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 3,050 patients enrolled in the international randomized controlled trial (ATLAS study) to evaluate the colorectal polyp detection performance of image-enhanced endoscopy in 11 institutions in four Asian countries/regions. In the current study, as a subgroup analysis of the ATLAS study, 92 CRC patients were extracted and compared to 2,958 patients without CRC to examine the effects of age, sex, and coexisting lesion types (high-grade adenoma [HGA], low-grade adenoma with villous component [LGAV], 10 adenomas, adenoma ≥10 mm, sessile serrated lesions [SSLs], and SSLs with dysplasia [SSLD]).
Background And Aim: Linked color imaging (LCI) is an image-enhanced endoscopy technique that accentuates the color difference between red and white, potentially improving the adenoma detection rate (ADR). However, it remains unclear whether LCI performance in detecting colorectal lesions differs based on endoscopists' experience levels. We aimed to evaluate the differences in LCI efficacy based on the experience levels of endoscopists by conducting an exploratory analysis.

This study compared the detection rates of adenoma and other precursor lesions using LCI vs white-light imaging (WLI) during screening, diagnostic, and surveillance colonoscopies.
Methods: This randomized controlled trial was performed at 11 institutions in 4 Asian countries/regions.
Aim: To compare the results and complications of early pre-cutting technique with standard technique.
Methods: From January 2003 to December 2004, a total of 416 consecutive therapeutic biliary ERCP procedures were performed by one endoscopist (T.A.
