Filter by:Endoscopic characterization is now essential in front of a colorectal lesion to predict its histology and choose the best therapeutic strategy. Different classifications have been proposed to predict histology depending on the endoscopic aspect. Thus, the aspect of the shape of the lesion is described in the Paris classification, the aspect of the mucosal pattern in Kudo's classification and the vascular pattern in Sano's one. Recently, classifications combining several color and mucosal and vascular pattern criteria have been described as the NICE classification or even more recently the Japanese JNET classification. However, although the interest in combining the Paris, Sano and Kudo criteria has recently shown its interest, there was not yet an overall classification covering all the published criteria. We have created a synthetic classification called CONECCT grouping the different criteria for an initial educational purpose. We have demonstrated that this tool allows interns and gastroenterologists to progress in the histological prediction of colorectal lesions presented in the form of photo files. Nevertheless, comparative data of the performances of those different classifications to predict the histology and the concordance intra and inter-observer have never been published. To validate this CONECCT classification, we created this comparative study evaluating the endoscopic characterization performances of these different classifications in terms of histological prediction and intra- and interobserver concordance in a group of gastroenterologists with varying levels of expertise in front of colorectal lesions presented in the form of photographic records.
This study evaluates the impact of Endorings™ assisted colonoscopy on the number of polyps detected per patient compared to standard colonoscopy without use of EndoRings™. Half of the participants will receive EndoRings™ assisted colonoscopy, while the other half will receive standard colonoscopy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an association between endomicroscopic pattern and colorectal mucosal microbiome exists.
Background: Although subjects with first-degree relatives (FDR) with a history of colorectal cancer (CRC) are at increased risk for CRC, compliance to screening colonoscopy is suboptimal. Computed tomographic colonography (CTC) has been recognized as an alternative for CRC screening in average risk subjects, but less information is available on its performance in FDRs. Aims: To prospectively assess the accuracy of CTC as a screening tool in FDRs using colonoscopy (OC) with segmental unblinding as reference standard. Methods: Consecutive patients admitted with CRC diagnosis (index case, IC) were prospectively evaluated. Following the systematic identification of ICs with inherited predispositions to CRC, ICs who agreed to contact their FDRs ≥40 years old were included. Available FDRs were invited to undergo non-cathartic CTC, with OC the following day. Sensitivity/specificity/PPV/NPV of CTC was assessed for detecting subjects with any lesion ≥6 mm, ≥10 mm, and for advanced neoplasia ≥6 mm.
The Third Eye Retroscope is a device that can be used with a colonoscope to improve the ability of a physician to see areas of the colon that may be hidden from the view of the colonoscope. Previous studies have shown that physicians are able to detect additional polyps when they use the device along with the colonoscope. The purpose of this study is to determine whether physicians can detect greater numbers of additional polyps as they gain in experience with the device.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a prototype colorectal cancer screening program with the services of a cancer prevention specialist will increase utilization of appropriate colorectal cancer screening tests.
