Cold snare polypectomy of colorectal polyps sometimes leaves a cord of white tissue consisting of submucosa and, sometimes, muscularis mucosa. These defects are called “cold
polyps

Cold Snare Defect Protrusions Are Associated With Forced Pull-Throughs and Higher Rate of Residual Polyp
Computer-Aided Diagnosis System Bombs in a Real-World Colon Polyp Histology Prediction Trial
In a prospective study from Singapore, the computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) program CAD EYE (Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan) was assessed in 661 consecutive polyps of all sizes
Computer-Based Measurement of Polyp Size Getting Closer
Polyp size measurements by endoscopists during colonoscopy are notoriously inaccurate, with both over-measurements and under-measurements. Computerized assessments of polyp size are promising for more accurate
Follow-up intervals after polypectomy
Follow-up intervals after polypectomy Colonoscopy is the most reliable procedure for detecting colorectal carcinomas and polyps. The aim of colonoscopy must be to achieve a
WASP classification – optical diagnosis of polyps <10mm
Recently sessile serrated lesions (SSLs) have been recognized as another important precursor lesion to CRC. SSLs are thought be responsible for 15–30% of colorectal cancer.
Cold Snare on the Rise?
Cold snare resection has been established in diminutive polyps (up to 5 mm) as being at least as safe and partially more effective than biopsy
Paris Classification: Early Colorectal Cancers
The Paris classification for superficial / early tumors should be part of a standard terminology for endoscopic assessment. This classification applies to the entire gastrointestinal
Paris Classification: Early Squamous Cell Cancers Esophagus
Examples of superficial/early squamous cell lesions in the esophagus are presented below. In the esophagus, flat lesions are predominant in the early tumors, and polypoid
