Description of the research topic:
In the last decade, minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures (endoscopic mucosal resection [EMR], endoscopic submucosal dissection [ESD], full thickness resection [EFTR]) have been gaining ground in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal tumors. The pathological evaluation of the removed lesions and specimens and the further therapeutic strategy are still controversial, however, with the introduction of the national colorectal cancer screening in 2018, more and more early tumors (pTis and pT1 stage) are being removed. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and fine needle aspiration cytology (FNA) are the first recommended methods for the verification of pancreatic tumors, but there are still several questions regarding the pathological evaluation of these specimens. Therefore, the aim of this research is to determine the efficacy, diagnostic accuracy and safety of these endoscopic procedures and pathological diagnostics in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal tumors, and to identify histological and endoscopic predictors of tumor outcome.
