The topic of the 12th IGICS is “ New era in endoscopy”.
An era where esophageal, gastric and colorectal cancer can be treated with endoscopy has come, and early cancer has become a disease of internal medicine from surgery. Even now, accurate diagnosis, expansion of treatment indications, and study of a new therapeutic procedure researches are being conducted.
On the other hand, the role of endoscopy becomes important to even a benign disorder. With rapid westernization, reflux esophagitis increases in Asia, and endoscopy play an important role in the diagnosis and diagnosis of its complications.
Endoscopy are also used for diagnosis, treatment and research of inflammatory bowel disease and functional gastrointestinal disorders. Namely, duodenal tissue taken by biopsy contribute the elucidation of mechanism of functional dyspepsia. In addition, influence of H.pylori on gastric mucosa became to be diagnosed by endoscopy. Furthermore, a new therapeutic technique such as POEM has been developed.
