Summary: This study found that lesions of SESCC that were undetectable using NBI were mostly macroscopic flat type, with numerous irregularly shaped LVLs present, and were more common if located at the anterior wall of the esophagus.

Summary: The study evaluated somatic mutations in the background mucosa of patients with Lugol-voiding lesions (LVLs), finding TP53 as the most dominant mutation in LVLs and NOTCH1 as the dominant mutation in the background mucosa. TP53 mutation could be the main target gene in the carcinogenesis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Summary: Combination treatment of ER and RFA in patients with early ESCNs with synchronous multiple LVLs can effectively reduce the incidence of metachronous ESCNs and local recurrence by improving the background esophageal mucosa.

Summary: Early and accurate identification of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is crucial for improving treatment outcomes and prognosis. New optical imaging techniques, such as Narrow Band Imaging and Fluorescence Optical Imaging, show promise in assisting clinical practice for better detection and delineation of tumors.

Summary: The study evaluated the clinical application and potential issues of NICE and JNET classifications for the differential diagnosis of colorectal cancer and precancerous lesions. It was found that the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of JNET and NICE classifications were similar in both highly experienced and less-experienced endoscopists. The diagnostic sensitivity of NICE classification type 3 lesions for SM-d carcinoma was significantly higher in the highly experienced group compared to the less-experienced group.

Summary: This study demonstrated that in current gastroenterology practice, NBI was more specific than Lugol for the detection of early SCC, suggesting that combined approaches with both NBI and Lugol could improve the detection of squamous neoplasia.

Summary: The combination of DKI and DCE-MRI showed superior accuracy in differentiating benign and malignant head and neck lesions and their subgroups compared to using DKI or DCE-MRI alone. The parameters MD, MK, T-peak, and WR demonstrated significant differences among the different subgroups.

Summary: The study found that NBI examination is significantly more sensitive and has higher negative predictive value in distinguishing between benign and malignant lesions in the nasal cavity compared to WLE. However, there were no significant differences in specificity, accuracy, and positive predictive value between NBI and WLE.

Summary: The study demonstrated that the diagnostic performance of endocytoscopy with narrow-band imaging was superior to magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging in diagnosing gastric cancer. These results may potentially impact the choice of diagnostic techniques for gastric cancer.

Summary: With the development of endoscopic techniques, narrow-band imaging (NBI) has been widely used in the diagnosis of various types of diseases. Different classifications have been established to assist clinicians in disease diagnosis, mainly focusing on distinguishing benign and malignant tumors and detecting early neoplastic lesions. This review summarizes the current NBI classifications and calls for continuous updates and advancements in optical techniques for better clinical decision-making.

Summary: This study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy and reliability of narrow band imaging (NBI) in laryngeal premalignant lesions, early cancers, and recurrences. NBI showed higher sensitivity and specificity compared to white light endoscopy (WLE), particularly in post-radiotherapy or post-surgical situations. NBI has the potential to reduce unnecessary biopsies and identify early-stage lesions suitable for minimally invasive surgery.

Summary: Narrow-band imaging (NBI) is an optical digital enhancement method that allows the observation of vascular and surface structures of colorectal lesions. Despite some issues in earlier models, NBI has evolved and the newest endoscopic platform offers significantly brighter and detailed images. Increased visualization and universal compatibility across all scopes are expected to improve the detection and diagnosis of polyps and promote global standardization. Knowledge of NBI and magnifying colonoscopy will become essential for future endoscopic practice.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (ME-NBI) findings of duodenal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and analyze the endosonographic and histopathologic features of these tumors. The characteristic ME-NBI features of duodenal NETs were regular microsurface and microvascular patterns and the presence of thickened subepithelial vessels. These features can assist in differentiating duodenal NETs from other subepithelial lesions of the duodenum.

Summary: This study reviewed the clinical and histologic features of IgG4-related disease in children. The results showed that pediatric IgG4-related disease has distinct clinical and histologic characteristics compared to adults. Awareness and evaluation of these features may improve diagnosis and treatment.
