Abstract :
Presently, detecting early gastrointestinal (GI) malignancy is a challenging strategy. Many new technologies have been developed to detect and characterize tiny mucosal lesion. The advantage of these techniques is not only benefit as an in vivo confirmation on the presence of early cancer but also as the assistance for a targeted biopsy. Recently a confocal laser endoscopy (CLE) has been added as an adjunctive reading tool for precancerous lesion and early GI malignancy.
