BACKGROUND & AIMS: Barrett's epithelium measurement using widely accepted Prague C&M classification is highly operator dependent. We propose a novel methodology for measuring this risk score automatically. The method also enables quantification of th...
BACKGROUND: Adequate lymphadenectomy during gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer resection is essential, because lymph node (LN) metastasis correlates with increased recurrence risk. Fluorescence lymphography with indocyanine green (ICG) has been u...
BACKGROUND: The endoscopic Hill classification of the gastroesophageal flap valve (GEFV) is of great importance for understanding the functional status of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ). Deep learning (DL) methods have been extensively employed i...
PURPOSE: Quantifying treatment response to gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinomas is crucial to provide an optimal therapeutic strategy. Routinely taken tissue samples provide an opportunity to enhance existing positron emission tomography-c...
BACKGROUND: Sintilimab plus chemotherapy has proven effective as a combination immunotherapy for patients with advanced gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GC/GEJC). A multi-center study conducted in China revealed a median progress...
Standardized assessment of the gastroesophageal valve during endoscopy, attainable via the Hill classification, is important for clinical assessment and therapeutic decision making. The Hill classification is associated with the presence of hiatal he...
BACKGROUND: Assessment of the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) is an integral part of gastroscopy; however, the absence of standardized reporting hinders consistency of examination documentation. The Hill classification offers a standardized approach ...
