Pathology definitions and resection strategies for early colorectal neoplasia
Post written by Makoto Nishimura, MD, from the Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition Service, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, New York, USA. Well-known discrepancies exist between the East and West classifications of colorectal neoplasia. For example, ‘intra-mucosal carcinoma’ in Japan is recognized as ‘high-grade dysplasia’ in the U.S. To resolve these interobserver discrepancies between …
