A reminder about using the Charlson comorbidity index for elderly / frail patients before polypectomy at #UEGWeek
Patients with a score of >5 have low 10 year survival and are unlikely to benefit from routine polypectomy.
Gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) - pearls from #UEGWeek 💡
1. Differentiate autoimmune vs H pylori and biopsy using Sydney protocol
2. Risk stratify based on MAPS3 guidelines
3. Use OLGIM staging for extent
4. For autoimmune gastritis, consider immunology, biochemistry and 3 yearly surveillance
🔬 Cuando las apariencias engañan: una pequeña erosión gástrica puede esconder un diagnóstico mucho más relevante.
En este caso, lo que endoscópicamente se presentaba como una erosión gástrica puntiforme y solitaria terminó correspondiendo a un carcinoma gástrico de células en anillo de sello.
Este tipo de casos recuerda la importancia de valorar cuidadosamente incluso las lesiones aparentemente mínimas y apoyarse en el estudio histológico cuando esté indicado. 🔎

Steak house syndrome: a food bolus stuck in the esophagus.
How would you treat it?
A) Push it gently into the stomach
B) Retrieve it with a net or cap
C) Wait and give glucagon
D) Something else

Colon polyp characterization starts before the snare.
Four visual checks: Paris morphology, Kudo pit pattern, Sano vessels, NICE NBI pattern.
Which finding slows you down first: depression, irregular pits, or distorted vessels?
Save this for your next colonoscopy.

Just released: New consensus recommendations by the U.S. Multi-Society Task Force (MSTF) on Colorectal Cancer (CRC) address serrated polyposis syndrome (SPS) - the most common gastrointestinal polyp syndrome yet is widely underrecognized. Read details in GIE: https://t.co/kNzh68Q1GN

Autoimmune gastritis has traditionally been viewed mainly as a risk factor for gastric neuroendocrine tumours and non-cardia gastric adenocarcinoma. But could its cancer risk extend further?
Read the #RecentAdvancesInClinicalPractice#GUTRecentAdvancesInClinicalPractice by Lenti et al. entitled “Autoimmune gastritis: a hidden gateway to cardia and oesophageal cancers beyond non-cardia gastric adenocarcinoma” via https://t.co/Ve38KXIdju
This review brings together emerging epidemiological and clinical evidence suggesting that autoimmune gastritis and pernicious anaemia may also be associated with malignancies involving the gastric cardia, gastro-oesophageal junction and oesophagus.
The authors explore possible mechanisms including corpus-predominant atrophy, intestinal metaplasia and vitamin B12 deficiency, while highlighting important gaps in our current understanding.
The review challenges us to think beyond the traditional boundaries of autoimmune gastritis and raises important questions about future risk stratification and surveillance.

🔥 New study published today in the @NEJM, focused on colonoscopy surveillance intervals. Essential reading for all GI endoscopists!

We wish all involved our congratulations.

New @ASGEendoscopy guideline on endoscopic management of benign and malignant colonic strictures now in GIE — first comprehensive GRADE-based update since 2010.
Key recs: • Stenting as bridge-to-surgery over emergency surgery for resectable CRC obstruction • Palliative stenting for unresectable disease (shared decision-making if bevacizumab) • Balloon dilation first-line for benign strictures; LAMS for short refractory anastomotic strictures

Premalignant lesions: Who to monitor and how often?
High-quality endoscopy
✅ Systematic inspection of the entire gastric mucosa
✅ High-definition endoscopy
✅ Avoid blind spots
✅ Adequate inspection time
✅ Complement with NBI/BLI/LCI
