Filter by:This protocol describes a prospective cohort study. It addresses an important challenge in the prevention of colorectal cancer: how to safely and effectively remove large polyps.
Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in men and the second most common cancer in women.There are about 14 million cases of colonoscopy in the United States every year. In recent years, the incidence of colorectal cancer in China has risen sharply, becoming a serious threat to people's health.For small(≤ 9mm) lesions, endoscopic biopsy forceps and cold snare polypectomy can be used to remove.For larger lesions, especially laterally spreading tumor,endoscopic mucosal resection is a classic method of treatment.With the increasing diameter of the lesion size(> 20mm),we also need to adopt endoscopic piecemeal mucosal resection or endoscopic submucosal dissection. As IT, Hook knife, BB, and other devices appear constantly, foreign researchers recently adopted a variation of conventional EMR（CEMR）, namely endoscopic mucosal resection with circumferential precutting(EMR - P).The technology is superior to conventional EMR for 10 to 20 mm polyps.Moreover, preliminary studies suggest that it has good safety and efficacy, and may be a better method for treatment of 10-20mm polyps under colonoscopy. This clinical trial is being conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of two methods of polypectomy, CEMR and EMR-P, for 10-20mm colorectal polyps.
The use of acetic acid in the characterization of polyps, produces a homogeneous white staining in sessile serrated adenomas, but not in tubular or tubulo-villous adenomas, a simple approach to predict polyp histopathology. To determine the diagnostic accuracy of the use of acetic acid on tubular and serrated adenomas, during colonoscopy, a prospective diagnostic accuracy study was designed, taking as gold standard the pathological anatomy of the resected polyps. Polyps found during a colonoscopy with suspicion of sessile serrated adenomas or tubular/tubulo villous will be included.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical benefit and safety of using an AI device in colonoscopy procedures with the indication of screening or surveillance.
Simulation-based training (SBT) is a safe and effective strategy for improving skills development in gastrointestinal endoscopy. The use of curricula based on progressive learning, as well as comprehensive structured curricula, have been demonstrated to be effective in enhancing simulation-based training. With current advancements in technologies, another possible enhancement to SBT is the use of augmented reality (AR). To date, no other studies have examined the benefits of AR technology in endoscopy training. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a simulation-based AR curriculum in developing technical skills, self-assessment accuracy, and clinical performance; as compared to a conventional simulation curriculum. Thirty six novice endoscopists will be recruited from the gastroenterology and general surgery programs at the University of Toronto. Participants will be randomized and assigned to two groups. The Conventional Simulation Training Curriculum group will receive 6 hours of simulated training, with expert feedback, and four 1-hour didactic teaching sessions. The AR Training Curriculum group will receive the same number of training hours and didactic sessions as the control group. The main difference is the use of superimposed videos to guide the intervention group through simulated polypectomy cases. During the didactic teaching sessions, the intervention group will also receive a brief introduction to principles of AR and its uses for endoscopy simulation. Participants will be trained to perform colonoscopies on two validated simulator models: (1) a bench-top colonoscopy simulator; and (2) the EndoVR® virtual reality simulator. Performance will be assessed before training (pre-test), immediately after training (acquisition post-test) and 4-6 weeks after training (retention test). On the same day as the retention test, the participants will perform two live colonoscopies and use a mechanical polypectomy simulation test (transfer tests), assessed by two blinded expert endoscopists. The main hypothesis of this study is that novices trained under the AR-enhanced curriculum will have better technical skill performance during simulated polypectomies and live colonoscopies.
To analyse the efficacy and safety of two standard methods of endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for large non-pedunculated colorectal polyps, the investigators will compare submucosal injection-assisted endoscopic mucosal resection (SEMR) versus underwater endoscopic mucosal resection, without submucosal injection (UEMR).
Screening colonoscopy for colorectal cancer is essential to diagnose and remove adenomas, precancerous stages of colorectal cancer. Unfortunately approximately 25 % of all adenomas are missed during the examination. Recently a new colonoscopy accessory, the Endorings-2 (EndoAid Ltd., Casearea, Israel), has been designed to improved the detection of adenomas during colonoscopy (adenoma detection rate). Endorings-2 is a silicone-rubber device that is fitted on the colonoscope and is equipped with circular flexible silicon rings mechanically stretching the colonic folds during withdrawal. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Endorings-2 to improve the adenoma detection rate in a prospective, blinded clinical trial. 292 patients with an indication for a screening colonoscopy shall be included (1:1 randomization in standard colonoscopy versus Endorings-2-assisted colonoscopy).
The investigators will investigate the efficacy of EMR compared to CSP in treatment of small colon polp (6~10mm). One aim of this study was to investigate the necessity of EMR on resection of small colon polyp.
