Colon tumors and colonoscopy

Introduction

DDW 2009, held in Chicago, was replete with new data on advances in colonic instrumentation, the impact of newer imaging modalities such as magnification endoscopy and autofluorescence imaging on the management of colonic tumors, and the use of self-expanding metal stents (SEMSs) in the management of stricturing colonic neoplasia. A significant volume of presented data addressed the use of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) in treating depressed and laterally spreading colonic tumors.
