Endoscopy, Pathology, and Treatment

Advanced cancers of the gastrointestinal tract develop from either superficial neoplasm or early cancer, and if they could be identified in these stages by endoscopy and diagnosed pathologically as cancer by biopsy, the benefit for patients would be immeasurable. We hope that the global dissemination of this knowledge and the techniques for the diagnosis and therapy of either superficial neoplasm or early cancer will be of worldwide benefit.
