Wide-area transepithelial sampling with computer-assisted analysis to detect high grade dysplasia and cancer in Barrettʼs esophagus: a multicenter randomized study

van Munster Sanne N et al.

Current surveillance for Barrett’s esophagus (BE), consisting of four-quadrant random forceps biopsies (FBs), has an inherent risk of sampling error. Wide-area transepithelial sampling (WATS) may increase detection of high grade dysplasia (HGD) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). In this multicenter randomized trial, van Munster et al aimed to evaluate WATS as a substitute for FB.

Evaluation of a real-time computer-aided polyp detection system during screening colonoscopy: AI-DETECT study

Ahmad Ahmir et al. 

Polyp detection and resection during colonoscopy significantly reduce long-term colorectal cancer risk. Computer-aided detection (CADe) may increase polyp identification but has undergone limited clinical evaluation. The authors' aim was to assess the effectiveness of CADe at colonoscopy within a bowel cancer screening program (BCSP).
