TL;DR: The study using the blood based mSEPT9 test showed that CRC signal in blood can be detected in asymptomatic average risk individuals undergoing screening, however, the utility of the test for population screening for CRC will require improved sensitivity for detection of early cancers and advanced adenomas.

TL;DR: Endoscopic ultrasonography is the most effective single imaging procedure for local tumor staging in pancreatic and ampullary cancer and will improve the assessment of tumor resectability and further decrease the need for explorative laparotomy.

TL;DR: Diagnostic computerized tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging are indicated in all patients with cystic lesion of the pancreas and in lesions with a suspicion of malignancy, otherwise organ preserving procedures may be considered.

TL;DR: EUS is superior to US and CT and equal to ERCP in pancreatic tumor diagnosis and provides direct visualization of tumor size and shape in almost all patients examined, and should be considered early in the evaluation of patients with suspected pancreatic tumors.

TL;DR: In a multicenter, randomized trial, it is found that including CADe in real-time colonoscopy significantly increases adenoma detection rate (ADR) and adenomas detected per Colonoscopy without increasing withdrawal time.
