Abstract

The aim of the article is to provide information on current options for endoscopic diagnostics and treatment of flat tumor intestinal lesions. These neoplasms are frequently and inaccurately described as sessile polyps, which have different genetic and diagnostic features, different prognosis and therapy. Although until recently, the lesions have been managed using surgery, the current approach is predominantly endoscopic.
