The Center for Interventional Endoscopy is an international leader in advanced endoscopic services for treating digestive disease. Our specialists are experts in minimally invasive endoscopic procedures including endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), tumor removal and enteral stenting. We use cutting-edge therapies to help our patients with digestive disease.
Our team treats the following digestive conditions:
Mass General is a leader in detecting early malignancies. We offer advanced endoscopic imaging techniques of the pancreas and biliary tract, including:
Mass General was one of the first U.S. hospitals to offer endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), a minimally invasive procedure that combines X-ray and video endoscope technologies to diagnose and treat conditions of the bile ducts. We helped pioneer cholangioscopy, a new technique in ERCP, and have introduced other novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Some of these approaches are available only at Mass General.
Other treatments include:Our diagnostic radiology team is composed of dedicated imaging specialists whose practice focuses specifically on GI scans (CT, MRI, PET). They are also nationally recognized for expertise in using the most sophisticated imaging tests to detect, diagnose and biopsy lesions in the pancreatic-biliary system.

Our expert team uses many cutting-edge developmental technologies to treat and diagnose digestive disease. This includes support for NIH-funded investigations on EUS-targeted stem cell therapy for liver disease and motility disorders.
We are proud of the many trainees we’ve taught and mentored over the years. We continue to teach residents, fellows and peers. Our providers organize and participate in myriad national and international courses to train practicing gastroenterologists and other specialists. We developed one of the first video atlases used globally to share endoscopic innovations. Our team has served on numerous panels to develop guidelines and standards of practice relating to gastrointestinal care and how to measure and improve the quality of endoscopic procedures.
We are pleased to announce that U.S. News & World Report has ranked us among the top in the country in adult gastroenterology and GI surgery.

A new study reports a 50 to 60 percent lower risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) among women who started endoscopy screening at age 45 compared to those who had not undergone screening at all.
The findings suggest that patients with inflammatory bowel might benefit from therapies that replace disease-driving intestinal viruses with health-promoting viruses.
New research published in PNAS that was led by investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and the University of Geneva (UNIGE) provides insights on why some types of colorectal cancer don’t respond to immune checkpoint inhibitors and offers a strategy to overcome their resistance.
“Each morning when we’d arrive at the police barricades, people would be standing there with pictures of their loved ones, asking us to look for them,” Susan Diehl says. “Hours later, after a hard shift when we were ready to get back on the shuttle bus, they were still there—waiting for word.”
Using a method developed for HIV, researchers have identified stable T cell vaccine targets in SARS-CoV-2.
