Perforating Veins Detected by Endoscopic Ultrasonography Are Useful in Predicting the Recurrence of Esophageal Varices After Endoscopic Variceal Ligation Combined With Argon Plasma Coagulation

Objectives: Few attempts have been made to determine the risk factors for the recurrence of esophageal #varices (EV) and the optimal surveillance interval. This study analyzed whether endoscopic ultrasonography can be used to predict EV recurrence and determine the optimal timing for surveillance #endoscopy post-treatment.Methods: We retrospectively evaluated patients with EVs who underwent endoscopic variceal… Continue reading Perforating Veins Detected by Endoscopic Ultrasonography Are Useful in Predicting the Recurrence of Esophageal Varices After Endoscopic Variceal Ligation Combined With Argon Plasma Coagulation

Deep learning assists detection of #esophageal #cancer and precursor lesions in a prospective, randomized controlled study

Early-stage esophageal cancers show better treatment response but are harder to detect. Li et al. developed a deep learning pipeline to aid clinicians in identifying early-stage, high-risk esophageal lesions and tested it in a randomized clinical trial in patients undergoing endoscopy. Deep learning assistance doubled the detection of high-risk esophageal lesions compared with the unassisted control group.… Continue reading Deep learning assists detection of #esophageal #cancer and precursor lesions in a prospective, randomized controlled study
