Classification
JNET classification (colorectal NBI magnifying)
NBI magnifying classification of colorectal tumors (Type 1 / 2A / 2B / 3).
Classification overview
Type 1 · Invisible vessels
Type 2A · Regular vessels and surface
Type 2B · Irregular vessels or surface
Type 3 · Loose vessels; amorphous surface
Type 1
Invisible vessels
Vessel
Invisible
Surface
Regular dark or white spots similar to surrounding normal mucosa
Histology
Hyperplastic polyp / sessile serrated polyp (SSP)
*1
If visible, the caliber in the lesion is similar to surrounding normal mucosa.
Type 2A
Regular vessels and surface
Vessel
Regular caliber; regular distribution (meshed/spiral pattern)
Surface
Regular (tubular / branched / papillary)
Histology
Low-grade intramucosal neoplasia
*2
Micro-vessels are often distributed in a punctate pattern and well-ordered reticular or spiral vessels may not be observed in depressed lesions.
Type 2B
Irregular vessels or surface
Vessel
Variable caliber; irregular distribution
Surface
Irregular or obscure
Histology
High-grade intramucosal neoplasia / shallow submucosal invasive cancer
*3
Deep submucosal invasive cancer may be included.
Type 3
Loose vessels; amorphous surface
Vessel
Loose vessel areas; interruption of thick vessels
Surface
Amorphous areas
Histology
Deep submucosal invasive cancer
