Core Tip	Gastroenterologists are often requested to perform endoscopic evaluation in neutropenic and thrombocytopenic patients. Endoscopists may be hesitant to perform these procedures in these situations, due to the fear of possible complications, such as bleeding and infection. In this systematic review, we provide gastroenterologists with the available safety data, preventive measures prior to the procedures, and the diagnostic yield of the procedures in this patient population.
