Core Tip

Core tip: Oncological screening of colorectal cancer is mostly performed by colonscopy and effectiveness of this technique strictly depends on adequate detection and removal of potentially precancerous lesions. Anyway, accuracy of colonoscopy in detection of adenomas is still suboptimal. For this reasons several technological advances have been implemented in order to improve the diagnostic sensitivity of colonoscopy in adenoma detection. Which of them is more likely to be successful in the next future?
