Founded in 1992 United European Gastroenterology (UEG) is the leading non-profit organisation for excellence in digestive health in Europe and beyond with its headquarters in Vienna. We improve the prevention and care of digestive diseases in Europe through providing top tier education, supporting research and advancing clinical standards. As Europe’s home and umbrella for multidisciplinary gastroenterology, we unite over 50,000 engaged professionals from national and specialist societies, individual digestive health experts and related scientists from all fields and career stages. The myUEG Community enables digestive health professionals from across the globe to become myUEG Associates and thereby connect, network and benefit from a wide range of free resources and educational activities. Our offers include our annual congress UEG Week, online and face-to-face educational experiences, research support, a scientific journal and a range of opportunities in the form of fellowships and grants. We provide numerous guidelines, standards and quality improvement initiatives and campaign at the European level to ensure continued resources for research into digestive health while working closely with patient organisations.

Not all polyps carry the same risk. 🔎

The primary goal of every colonoscopy is to determine a lesion’s malignant potential to decide the next clinical step. In our latest course, experts Raf Bisschops, Manuele Furnari, Veronique Van der Voort, and Pieter Sinonquel break down the core distinctions between mucosal and submucosal lesions.

Why size and histology matter: Adenomatous polyps are found in up to 60% of procedures. While most are small, the risk of progression to colorectal cancer (CRC) increases to approximately 5% per year if the lesion is >10 mm or shows high-grade dysplasia.

Understanding these high-risk features is essential for precision medicine in colorectal cancer prevention.

📢 UEG urges EU policymakers to prioritise digestive health in the next EU budget

Digestive diseases affect over 330 million Europeans and cost the EU billions each year – but remain under-recognised in funding.

UEG calls on EU institutions to make digestive health a strategic priority in the next Multiannual Financial Framework ( ) 2028–2034 and secure dedicated investment through , the EU’s next Framework Programme for Research & Innovation.

Targeted funding can drive prevention, strengthen health systems, and translate research into real-world health outcomes.
