Core Tip
Core Tip: Confocal laser endomicroscopy is a new imaging technique used during endoscopy procedures to evaluate the mucosa in vivo. Diagnosing and monitoring early cancer in the upper gastrointestinal tract can be effectively achieved through the use of this tool. Minimizing the number of biopsies required is one of the main benefits of this technology, while still maintaining a high diagnostic sensitivity rate. This helps to reduce the risk of complications, such as mucosal damage, bleeding, and infection, that may be caused by repeated biopsies.
