Mission
The IOV Digestive Endoscopy Unit is a regional reference center for the early diagnosis, staging and endoscopic treatment of tumors of the digestive system, in particular the esophagus and stomach, and for some precancerous lesions such as Barrett’s esophagus and atrophic gastritis.
It boasts one of the most avant-garde structures in Italy: fully computerized, controlled by automation technology and equipped with the most modern instruments available today, some even unique, such as the autofluorescence endoscope or some types of endoscopic probes.
In line with the mission of the Institute, the Digestive Endoscopy Unit conducts several research projects aimed not only at improving diagnosis and treatment of tumors of the digestive system but also at identifying the most effective strategies for their prevention.
