Background And Study Aims: Piecemeal EMR of large (≥20mm) non-pedunculated colorectal polyps (LNPCPs) is succeeded by a 6-month surveillance endoscopy to evaluate the post-EMR scar for recurrence. Data from expert centers suggest that routine tattoo placement and scar biopsies can be omitted, but data from community hospitals are lacking.
Patients And Methods: In a post-hoc analysis of the STAR-LNPCP study (NTR7477), containing prospective data on 6-month post-pEMR scar assessments in 30 Dutch community hospitals (October 2019 to May 2022), the agreement between optical assessment and histological confirmation by routine biopsies was evaluated.
Long-standing ulcerative colitis (UC) is associated with an increased risk of developing colorectal neoplasia. Both dye-based chromoendoscopy (DCE) and virtual chromoendoscopy (VCE) increase detection of neoplastic lesions. In this prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT), we compared the neoplasia detection rate between DCE and i-scan VCE in patients with long-standing UC.

- Detection of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in T1 colorectal cancer (CRC) varies across Dutch laboratories and significantly influences treatment decisions, particularly surgical resection rates.
- Patients diagnosed in laboratories with high LVI detection rates had higher surgical resection rates and a greater proportion of lymph node metastasis-negative surgeries compared to those from lower detection rate labs.
- However, despite these differences in surgical approach, high LVI detection did not lead to significantly better cancer recurrence outcomes, indicating potential risks without improved benefits for patients.
Background: Data on the incidence and clinical relevance of gallstones in patients with suspected acute alcoholic pancreatitis are lacking and are essential to minimize the risk of recurrent acute pancreatitis. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of gallstones and the associated rate of recurrent acute pancreatitis in patients with presumed acute alcoholic pancreatitis.
Methods: Between 2008 and 2019, 23 hospitals prospectively enrolled patients with acute pancreatitis.
Effect of optical diagnosis training on recognition and treatment of submucosal invasive colorectal cancer in community hospitals: a prospective multicenter intervention study.
Endoscopy
October 2024
Background: Recognition of submucosal invasive colorectal cancer (T1 CRC) is difficult, with sensitivities of 35 %-60 % in Western countries. We evaluated the real-life effects of training in the OPTICAL model, a recently developed structured and validated prediction model, in Dutch community hospitals.
Methods: In this prospective multicenter study (OPTICAL II), 383 endoscopists from 40 hospitals were invited to follow an e-learning program on the OPTICAL model, to increase sensitivity in detecting T1 CRC in nonpedunculated polyps.
