Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers – yet it remains a leading cause of cancer mortality across Europe.

As highlighted by Marianna Arvanitakis, Secretary General of the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE)​, strengthening high-quality, accessible endoscopic screening programmes is essential to reducing the burden of disease and improving early detection.

👩‍⚕️🌍 Today, on International Women's Day, we celebrate the passion, resilience, and groundbreaking contributions of women in gastroenterology!

From pioneering research to leading patient care, women in GI are shaping the future of our field. While progress has been made, true equity requires continuous effort – as highlighted in this recent UEG call to action in Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology: https://go.nature.com/40NJKqE 📖

At UEG, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse community where every voice is heard, every talent is nurtured, and every ambition is within reach. Together, we're building a future where equity in gastroenterology is not just an aspiration – but a reality. 💚

Clinical Management: Post-Polypectomy Surveillance Intervals

Establishing the correct surveillance interval is essential for effective long-term patient care and guideline adherence.

This clinical pathway outlines the ESGE framework for:
- High-risk resections: Identifying when size (≥ 10mm), high-grade dysplasia, or polyp count requires a 3-year interval.
- Low-risk findings: Determining when routine screening is appropriate.
- Surveillance exit: Defining the criteria for returning a patient to routine screening after a negative follow-up

What do you think?
Do you find these surveillance intervals straightforward to implement, or do you have a different take on the current guidelines?
Let us know in the comments! 💬

Expert insights from Raf Bisschops, Manuele Furnari, Veronique Van der Voort, and Pieter Sinonquel are available in the full course.
