Gastrointestinal neoplasms are a growing global health concern, requiring prompt identification and treatment. Endoscopic procedures have revolutionized the detection and treatment of gastrointestinal tumors by providing accurate, minimally invasive methods. Early-stage malignancies can be treated with endoscopic excision, leading to improved outcomes and increased survival rates. Precancerous lesions, like adenomatous polyps, can be prevented by removing them, reducing cancer occurrence and death rates. Advanced techniques like chromoendoscopy, narrow-band imaging, and confocal laser endomicroscopy improve the ability to see the mucosa surface and diagnose conditions. Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications in endoscopy can enhance diagnostic accuracy and predict histology outcomes. However, challenges remain in accurately defining lesions and ensuring precise diagnosis and treatment selection. Molecular imaging approaches and therapeutic modalities like photodynamic therapy and endoscopic ultrasonography-guided therapies hold potential but require further study and clinical confirmation. This study examines the future prospects and obstacles in endoscopic procedures for the timely identification and treatment of gastrointestinal cancers. The focus is on developing technology, limits, and prospective effects on clinical practice.
