Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading global health concern, and early identification and precise prognosis play a vital role in enhancing patient results. Endoscopy is a minimally invasive imaging technique that is crucial for the screening, diagnosis, and treatment of CRC. This editorial discusses the importance of advances in endoscopic techniques, the integration of artificial intelligence, and the potential of novel technologies in enhancing the diagnosis and management of CRC.
Core Tip: Endoscopy is a vital tool for the early identification and accurate diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Advanced endoscopy techniques, such as endoscopic submucosal dissection and full-thickness resection, offer promising therapeutic strategies for localized CRC. Artificial intelligence has the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy and procedural outcomes in endoscopic practice. Novel innovations such as nanotechnology and molecular targeted therapy may provide personalized treatment strategies and enhance treatment outcomes in CRC.
