Abstract
OBJECTIVES Advances in endoscopic technology, including magnifying and image-enhanced techniques, have been attracting increasing attention for the optical characterization of colorectal lesions. These techniques are being implemented into clinical practice as cost-effective and real-time approaches. Additionally, with the recent progress in endoscopic interventions, endoscopic resection is gaining acceptance as a treatment option in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Therefore, accurate preoperative characterization of lesions is now required. However, lesion characterization in patients with UC may be difficult because UC is often affected by inflammation, and it may be characterized by a distinct "bottom-up" growth pattern, and even expert endoscopists have relatively little experience with such cases. In this systematic review, we assessed the current status and limitations of the use of optical characterization of lesions in patients with UC. METHODS A literature search of online databases (MEDLINE via PubMed and CENTRAL via the Cochrane Library) was performed from 1 January 2000 to 30 November 2021. RESULTS The database search initially identified 748 unique articles. Finally, 25 studies were included in the systematic review: 23 focused on differentiation of neoplasia from non-neoplasia, one focused on differentiation of UC-associated neoplasia from sporadic neoplasia, and one focused on differentiation of low-grade dysplasia from high-grade dysplasia and cancer. CONCLUSIONS Optical characterization of neoplasia in patients with UC, even using advanced endoscopic technology, is still challenging and several issues remain to be addressed. We believe that the information revealed in this review will encourage researchers to commit to the improvement of optical diagnostics for UC-associated lesions.

Abstract
Magnifying endoscopy is a useful technique to differentiate neoplasia from non-neoplastic lesions. Data regarding the clinical utility of magnifying endoscopy for neoplasia in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been emerging. While Kudo’s pit pattern types III-V are findings suggestive of neoplasia in non-IBD patients, these pit patterns are predictive of IBD-associated neoplasia as well. However, active chronic inflammatory processes, particularly regenerative changes, can mimic neoplastic pit patterns and may affect a meticulous evaluation of pit pattern diagnosis in patients with IBD. The clinical evidence regarding the utility of magnifying endoscopy with narrow band imaging or endocytoscopy has also been evolving in regard to the diagnosis of IBD-associated neoplasia. These advanced endoscopic techniques are promising for multiple reasons; not only for making an accurate diagnosis of neoplasia, but also in determining if endoscopic resection is appropriate for such lesions in patients with IBD. In this review, we discuss the diagnostic accuracy and limitations of magnifying endoscopy in assessing IBD-associated neoplasia and examine the feasibility and outcomes of endoscopic resection for these lesions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Ulcerative colitis-associated neoplasias (UCAN) are often flat with an indistinct boundary from surrounding tissues, which makes differentiating UCAN from non-neoplasias difficult. Pit pattern (PIT) has been reported as one of the most effective indicators to identify UCAN. However, regenerated mucosa is also often diagnosed as a neoplastic PIT. Endocytoscopy (EC) allows visualization of cell nuclei. The aim of this retrospective study was to demonstrate the diagnostic ability of combined EC irregularly-formed nuclei with PIT (EC-IN-PIT) diagnosis to identify UCAN. METHODS This study involved patients with ulcerative colitis whose lesions were observed by EC. Each lesion was diagnosed by two independent expert endoscopists, using two types of diagnostic strategies: PIT alone and EC-IN-PIT. We evaluated and compared the diagnostic abilities of PIT alone and EC-IN-PIT. We also examined the difference in the diagnostic abilities of an EC-IN-PIT diagnosis according to endoscopic inflammation severity. RESULTS We analyzed 103 lesions from 62 patients; 23 lesions were UCAN and 80 were non-neoplastic. EC-IN-PIT diagnosis had a significantly higher specificity and accuracy compared with PIT alone: 84% versus 58% (P < 0.001), and 88% versus 67% (P < 0.01), respectively. The specificity and accuracy were significantly higher for Mayo endoscopic score (MES) 0-1 than MES 2-3: 93% versus 68% (P < 0.001) and 95% versus 74% (P < 0.001), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our novel EC-IN-PIT strategy had a better diagnostic ability than PIT alone to predict UCAN from suspected and initially detected lesions using conventional colonoscopy.
