Core Tip	Non polypoid tumors (NPTs) are distinguished in slightly elevated (0-Ⅱa, less than 2.5 mm), flat (0-Ⅱb) or slightly depressed (0-Ⅱc). NPTs are usually flat or slightly elevated while depressed lesions show an increased risk of submucosal invasion (SMI). Chromoendoscopy or, if possible, narrow-band imaging technique should be considered for the estimation of SMI risk of NPTs, and the characterization of pit and vascular pattern may be useful to predict the risk of SMI. Endoscopic mucosal resection remains the first-line therapy for NPTs, whereas endoscopic submucosal dissection or surgery should be considered for larger neoplasms presenting SMI.
