The annual incidence of multiple metachronous cancers, especially after endoscopic resection, is approximately 10% per year.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; In particular, the grade according to the number of Lugol-voiding lesions (LVLs) per endoscopic view has been reported to stratify the risk.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Lugol chromoendoscopy (LCE) is useful for the detection of ESCC and is the standard practice worldwide. However, with the advancement of image-enhanced endoscopy (IEE), narrow-band imaging (NBI) has proven to be significantly superior to white-light imaging (WLI) in detecting ESCC&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and is widely used in routine clinical practice. Blue-light imaging (BLI) is considered a modality similar to NBI in the esophagus. As the image quality of IEE has improved, the possibility of replacing LCE with NBI and BLI has been discussed. To date, a meta-analysis using expert-focused studies has shown that NBI has a sensitivity comparable to that of LCE but superior specificity in identifying high-grade dysplasia and/or squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; In addition, as a prospective randomized controlled trial that included nonexperts revealed the higher specificity of NBI, the latest European guidelines recommend narrow light observation as an alternative to LCE for detecting ESCC.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; However, additional LCE was proposed to improve the detection of synchronous lesions, which were easily missed by the nonexperts in this trial; thus, the positioning of LCE and NBI is controversial.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this issue of &lt;i&gt;Digestive Endoscopy&lt;/i&gt;, Ogata &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; conducted a post hoc analysis of a multicenter randomized controlled trial that compared the diagnostic ability of BLI and linked-color imaging for ESCC in patients at high risk for ESCC in expert settings. In this study, the authors evaluated the diagnostic abilities of BLI and LCE after BLI. Finally, BLI had a significantly lower sensitivity (83.7% vs. 100.0%) and higher specificity (88.2% vs. 81.2%) and accuracy (87.8% vs. 82.5%) than LCE following BLI in the per-patient analysis. In contrast, BLI had a slightly lower detection rate (5.9% vs. 7.0%) and a significantly higher miss rate (18.4% vs. 4.1%) than LCE following BLI. Because the order of examination is usually IEE observation followed by chromoendoscopy, it is difficult to compare the true diagnostic abilities of digital imaging and chromoendoscopy. The strength of this study may be its characterization of BLI and LCE in the diagnosis of superficial ESCC and its suggestion that these may complement each other.

An important milestone in the preparation for ENDO 2024 was the selection of internationally renowned experts, including Drs. Jean-Francois Rey and Don-Wan Seo as Chair and Co-Chair of the Steering Committee, and Drs. Philip Chiu and Jong Ho Moon as Chair and Co-Chair of the Scientific Committee.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have put together a stimulating 3-day program. Highlights include 2 full days of live demonstrations from India, China, Thailand, and Korea, the provision of 20 hands-on stations, more than 20 scientific symposia, 6 joint international symposia with major partner societies, 5 WEO educational courses, and much more! We are also proud to announce that the conference includes special attention to the topic of Women in Endoscopy and to the International Outreach program that focuses on support for teaching and training on the African continent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;WEO takes great pride in supporting the next generation of endoscopists and the 4th World Congress reflects this by the award of grants to young endoscopists. Authors of top-ranked abstracts will receive ENDO 2024 grants offered by WEO, the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society (JGES), the Chinese Society of Digestive Endoscopology (CSDE), and the Asian-Pacific Society for Digestive Endoscopy (A-PSDE).
