Core Tip	The value of screening endoscopy in evaluating esophageal, gastric, and colon cancers is a critical area of discussion due to a potential reduction in morbidity and mortality. Studies have found value and cost-benefit in conducting screening endoscopy in esophageal and gastric cancer in high-risk populations. Colorectal cancer has had mass screening programs implemented for many years due to the clear evidence of improved outcomes. New innovations in technology have emerged and shown promise in playing a significant role in the future of endoscopic screening. These developments are paving the way for improving the diagnostic capability of endoscopy in the field of gastroenterology.
