Abstract

This publication shortly reviews the attributes of cornerstones of the latest technical developments in the field of endoscopy (virtual chromoendoscopy, optical biopsy, etc.), as well as some technical details of novel endoscopic methods (deep enteroscopy, capsule endoscopy). It evaluates the clinical consequences of the technical progress concerning several diseases that are important from the point of view of oncology. Some novel endoscopic innovations till now with uncertain clinical relevance are also mentioned. We can face the fact what a huge gap exists between our everyday possibilities at almost all our workplaces and the up-to-date endoscopic diagnostic modalities of the developed world.
