    Gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors (GI-NETs) are rare tumors with increasing incidence, necessitating improved diagnostic tools for early detection.

  • 2

    Linked color imaging (LCI) enhances color contrast and visibility during endoscopy, aiding in the detection of GI-NETs compared to white light imaging (WLI).

  • 3

    LCI has shown superior efficacy in identifying early gastric cancer and colorectal polyps, particularly diminutive lesions, compared to conventional methods.

  • 4

    The study utilized a retrospective analysis to evaluate endoscopic characteristics of GI-NETs using both LCI and WLI, focusing on color differentiation and visibility.

  • 5

    Endoscopic findings were verified for accuracy, highlighting the potential of LCI to improve the detection and characterization of challenging GI-NETs.
