Gastrointestinal endoscopy and the acquisition of tissue samples are essential
for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases of the digestive system.
However, given the differences between the recommendations and the clinical
practice, the inexorable increase of requests for endoscopic examinations and the
financial burden associated with it, it is crucial that we concentrate on the
challenge that endoscopic biopsies represent. In this review we describe the
available evidence in the literature, including the more recent published
guidelines, on when or not to perform endoscopic biopsies in upper and lower
endoscopy, focusing on the precise diagnosis of the most common gastrointestinal
diseases that motivate endoscopic examinations and on the rational use of
available resources without compromising proper management of patients.
