Abstract
Detection of early gastrointestinal tract malignancy can be challenging on white light endoscopy especially as lesions can be subtle and inconspicuous. With the advent of electronic chromoendoscopy technologies, lesions which have already been detected can be quickly and "conveniently" characterised. This review will discuss some of the indications and modern applications of chromoendoscopy in various conditions including Barrett's oesophagus, oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma, early gastric cancer, inflammatory bowel disease and neoplastic colonic lesions. In carefully selected situations, chromoendoscopy could still be a useful adjunct to white light endoscopy in day-to-day clinical practice.
期刊介绍：
Translational Gastroenterology and Hepatology (Transl Gastroenterol Hepatol; TGH; Online ISSN 2415-1289) is an open-access, peer-reviewed online journal that focuses on cutting-edge findings in the field of translational research in gastroenterology and hepatology and provides current and practical information on diagnosis, prevention and clinical investigations of gastrointestinal, pancreas, gallbladder and hepatic diseases. Specific areas of interest include, but not limited to, multimodality therapy, biomarkers, imaging, biology, pathology, and technical advances related to gastrointestinal and hepatic diseases. Contributions pertinent to gastroenterology and hepatology are also included from related fields such as nutrition, surgery, public health, human genetics, basic sciences, education, sociology, and nursing.
