ABSTRACT
Objective: To support the significance of being aware with the current classification of flat gastrointestinal tract lesions and making its early endoscopic diagnosis.
Development: Esophagus, stomach and colon neoplasias are major causes of mortality worldwide. Generally, cancer represents, in Cuba, the second cause of death and particularly, gastrointestinal neoplasias, the forth cause in order of appearance.
Flat gastrointestinal lesions, also defined as premalignant and/or, precursors of advanced cancer are considered to be
difficult to diagnose during the development of a conventional endoscopic study as well as in non- invasive
endoscopic studies . This type of lesion can become in an advanced cancer with a higher frequency than the ones called
protruded polyps of similar size, therefore, its precocious diagnosis is essential.
Currently, new guiding principles have been adopted globally for classifying these lesions taking into account their morphology and endoscopic appearance
At the same time, the incorporation of exceptional novel and sophisticated endoscopic techniques has contributed to improve diagnosing this type of lesions.
Conclusions: The possibility of identifying the plane gastrointestinal tract lesions in a quick and precise way has had a great impact on preventing cancer of digestive origin, making possible its early detection when the lesion is even considered to be curable.
