Abstract

Background and study aims Gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors (NET) are generally submucosal in location. Because these tumors are covered with normal mucosa, biopsy is necessary to confirm histological diagnosis before treatment. We explored the diagnostic capabilities of the endocytoscope, which can perform ultra-high magnification in vivo, for staining and diagnosing submucosal tumors in situ.
