ABSTRACT Lugol chromoendoscopy is widely used for screening esophageal squamous cell neoplasms (ESCNs) and evaluating dissection margins during endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). However, morphological variations may arise following treatment for synchronous cancers. This study aimed to assess...
