ERCPMP-Gx is a publicly available dataset that combines endoscopic images and videos with histopathological slides and germline genetic data to characterize colorectal polyposis. It includes 160 images and video clips from procedures performed with various white‑light and narrow‑band imaging modes, and covers about 80% hereditary polyposis syndromes such as FAP, PJS, JPS, and GNS, with the remaining 20% representing non‑hereditary or mimicking lesions. Each record is linked to standardized endoscopic annotations, representative histopathology, and clinically reported germline findings, creating an AI‑ready, patient‑level annotation framework.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally, with approximately 1,926,425 new cases and 904,019 deaths reported in 2022. Accurate histologic grading plays a critical role in prognosis and treatment planning for colorectal adenocarcinoma.
SegCol is a new dataset and benchmark for semantic segmentation of colon fold edges and surgical instruments in colonoscopy images, derived from the EndoMapper dataset. It offers manually annotated pixel‑level masks for three instrument classes and thin fold‑edge structures across temporally consistent image sequences, and serves as the basis for the SegCol Challenge within the EndoVis Challenge at MICCAI 2024. The study evaluates supervised segmentation and annotation‑efficient active learning, analyzes various segmentation metrics under structural perturbations, and highlights how metric behavior depends on target structure, underscoring the need for carefully selected evaluation protocols in endoscopic segmentation.
