We report two cases of the comparison of diagnosis made with linked color imaging (LCI) and conventional white-light imaging (WLI) on the same patients. In case 1, a 75-year-old man in whom right upper lobectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection was performed due to lung cancer had signs of bronchitis on postoperative day 8. The LCI demonstrated slight inflammatory changes that were not detectable with the conventional WLI on the tracheal wall. In case 2, in a 61-year-old woman who was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma, the bronchial wall was checked to confirm the extent of the tumour. The submucosal vascularity and tumour margin on the bronchial mucosa were better visible on LCI than on WLI. We could easily detect the mucosal inflammatory lesion and the malignant lesion with LCI in comparison with conventional WLI. Both mucosal inflammatory and malignant lesions were better visible with LCI in comparison to WLI.

Diagnostic accuracy of linked color imaging and white light imaging for early gastric cancer and gastrointestinal metaplasia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Article Synopsis
- Conventional white light imaging (WLI) often misses early gastric cancer (EGC) cases, prompting a study to compare its effectiveness against linked color imaging (LCI) to improve diagnostic practices.
- The study evaluated 11 research articles, analyzing the diagnostic performance using methods like the QUADAS-2 tool and Split Component Synthesis (SCS).
- Results showed LCI significantly outperformed WLI in detecting EGC and gastrointestinal metaplasia (GIM), with higher sensitivity and specificity, establishing LCI as the preferred screening method for both conditions.

Article Synopsis
- Narrow-band imaging (NBI) is more effective at identifying early gastrointestinal cancer compared to traditional white light imaging (WLI), but NBI is not currently available in magnetic-assisted capsule endoscopy (MACE) due to technical limitations.
- MACE is a patient-friendly alternative to conventional endoscopy, which raises the need to integrate NBI-like capabilities into MACE systems.
- Researchers have developed a new image enhancement technique called Spectrum Aided Visual Enhancer (SAVE) that improves mucosal visualization in MACE, achieving a high similarity to NBI images, suggesting promising future applications.

Texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI) may improve the visibility of gastric tumors and allow their early detection. However, few reports have examined the utility of TXI. Between June 2021 and October 2022, 56 gastric tumors in 51 patients undergoing endoscopic submucosal dissection at Fukuchiyama City Hospital were evaluated preoperatively using conventional white light imaging (WLI), narrow-band imaging (NBI), and TXI modes 1 and 2.

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological malignancy, with a 5-year survival rate of approximately 50%. The dismal prognosis is due in part to metastatic disease and acquired drug resistance to conventional chemotherapies such as taxanes. Colchicine binding site inhibitors (CBSIs) are attractive alternatives to taxanes because they could potentially achieve oral bioavailability and overcome drug resistance associated with the prolonged use of taxanes.

Conventional endoscopy is widely used in the diagnosis of early gastric cancers (EGCs), but the graphical features were loosely defined and dependent on endoscopists' experience. We aim to establish a more accurate predictive model for infiltration depth of early gastric cancer including a standardized colorimetric system, which demonstrates promising clinical implication. A retrospective study of 718 EGC cases was performed.
