Foreword

Dear Colleagues,

we invite you to up-date yourself in the current standards and newest skills in diagnostic endoscopy of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract. Endoscopic prediction of premalignant and early malignant lesions, in particular flat mucosal lesions, has reached a high sensitivity and specificity using white light endoscopy, chromoendoscopy and narrow band imaging.

The proper use of these diagnostic tools in routine screening colonoscopy and surveillance gastroscopy is the aim of this ESGE seminar, including the endoscopic decision making for the appropriate therapy of premalignant or early malignant lesions, such as snare mucosectomy, endoscopic submucosal dissection or resective surgery.

The panel of expert speakers and interactive digivote tools will bring you to the leading edge in your every day routine.

Sincerely,

Anton Kreuzmayr & Frieder Berr
