Abstract

Imaging and other advanced technologies for detection of gastrointestinal cancers are undergoing a major revolution on several fronts. This is facilitated by convergence of key technologies including advanced endoscopic-detection systems, more specific contrast agents, rapid and high-resolution cross-sectional imaging, and miniaturization of construction systems for making all imaging equipment smaller and less invasive. This convergence is occurring along traditional translational research pathways (clinical medicine-molecular biology) as well as nontraditional lines (clinical medicine-optical physics/engineering and molecular biology-optical physics/engineering). These new efforts are producing a wide array of technologies aimed at improving detection, classification, and monitoring of gastrointestinal neoplasia, especially for colorectal and esophageal cancer because of easier accessibility. A critical goal is to detect lesions at their premalignant stages, thereby permitting meaningful intervention. Inspired by these advances, the American Gastroenterological Association and the National Cancer Institute sponsored a symposium held in Bethesda, MD, from October 4-5, 2004, bringing together leading investigators with diverse ...Continue Reading
