Filter by:Colorectal cancer is prevented by colonoscopy and polypectomy. Failure to recognize the endoscopic resection scar after Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) risks unrecognized recurrent or residual adenoma (RRA), which may propagate into post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer. Expert series suggest scar recognition and interrogation is well performed with a high negative predictive value of endoscopic imaging vs histopathology. In this study the authors will investigate the performance of endoscopic imaging in detecting RRA at an endoscopic resection scar amongst general endoscopist and the impact of a learning intervention on recognition of RRA.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a malignant tumour originating from the colorectal mucosal epithelium, with rising incidence and mortality rates. Approximately 90% of CRC develops from colorectal polyps, which are considered precancerous lesions of CRC, especially adenomatous polyps. If removed endoscopically during the polyp stage, 70%-90% of CRC can be prevented. However, current colonoscopy examinations have a high miss rate for polyps. Studies have shown that the miss rates for polyps and adenomas after colonoscopy can reach 22%-28% and 12%-26%, respectively. The "2014 Chinese Guidelines for Early Screening and Endoscopic Diagnosis and Treatment of Colorectal Cancer" mentions that the observation method during colonoscopy starts from the rectum and progresses forward to the cecum, with observations made during withdrawal. However, in actual clinical practice, it is found that single withdrawal observation is not enough, as this examination approach is prone to many missed polyps. The likely reason is that the colon is in a compressed state during withdrawal observation. Single-operator colonoscopy is currently the mainstream insertion method internationally, and the essence of the single-operator technique is "short-axis reductions", meaning that the colonoscope maintains a straight configuration throughout the entire examination. The average adult colon length is about 1.5m, but the distance reached by the colonoscope during the single-operator technique is often between 70-80cm, indicating compression of the colon. In addition, colonic folds become more dense when compressed, making it easier for lesions like polyps to hide within or near folds, leading to misses. The sigmoid colon, with the most turns in the entire large intestine, is also the part most prone to compression during colonoscopy insertion. Correspondingly, it is also more prone to misses during withdrawal observation. Although some scholars proposed repeating withdrawal to improve lesion detection rates, whether it is performed twice or three times, only compressed colons are observed. In actual clinical work, many polyps can only be found during insertion. The investigators propose performing a second insert specifically for the easily compressed sigmoid colon. During the second insert, the "short-axis reduction" technique should not be used. Instead, the folds should be deliberately advanced into, which helps fully extend the compressed sigmoid colon to shallow or eliminate the folds, allowing observation during advancement to achieve effects beyond multiple withdrawals, finding hidden lesions within or near folds to improve colonoscopy quality. Therefore, to explore whether observing during a second sigmoid colon advancement can further improve the adenoma detection rate to improve colonoscopy quality and reduce interval cancers, the investigators conducted this study.
Robotic right hemicolectomy with intra-corporeal anastomosis may have better short-term recovery outcomes and decreased incidence of incisional hernia when compared to the laparoscopic actual standard of care, for similar safety outcomes.
Polyp size and count determines the follow-up intervals after colonoscopy. However, relying on the endoscopist's optical diagnosis for size estimation has shown considerable variability, leading to erroneous surveillance intervals and increased colorectal cancer risk. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a new polyp size estimation software, called POSEIDON, which uses the tip of the auxiliary water-jet as reference and is implemented together with the EndoMind polyp detection system.
Management of unexpected malignant colorectal polyps removed endoscopically can be challenging due to the risk of residual tumor and lymphatic spread. International studies have shown that in patients choosing surgical management instead of watchful waiting, 54-82% of bowel resections are without evidence of residual tumor or lymphatic spread. As surgical management entails risks of complications and watchful waiting management entails risks of residual disease or recurrence, a clinical dilemma arises when choosing a management strategy. Shared decision making (SDM) is a concept that can be used in preference sensitive decision making to facilitate patient involvement, empowerment, and active participation in the decision making process. This is a clinical multicenter, non-randomized, interventional phase II study involving Danish surgical departments planned to commence in the first quarter of 2024. The aim of the study is to examine whether shared decision making and using a patient decision aid (PtDA) in consultations affects patients' choice of management compared with historical data. The secondary aim is to investigate Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) and Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) using questionnaire feedback directly from the patients.
This study is to determine how the Mainz Biomed Colorectal Cancer Screening Test works when used in people aged ≥45 years of age and at an average risk of developing colorectal cancer.
We have been developing artificial intelligence based polyp histology prediction (AIPHP) method to classify Narrow Band Imaging(NBI) colonoscopy images to predict the hyperplastic or neoplastic histology of polyps. We plan to study colonoscopy polyp samples taken by polypectomy from 1200 patients.The documented NBI still images will be analyzed by the AIPHP method and by the NICE classification parallel.Our aim is to analyze the accuracy of AIPHP and NBI classification based histology predictions and also compare the results of the two methods.
Recent updates of the guidelines on polyp surveillance of the American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) and European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) increasingly focus on size of polyps as an important indicator of malignant transformation to colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the interobserver variability in polyp size assessment between optical diagnosis of endoscopists and pathologists is considerable. This may lead to incorrect surveillance intervals in patients at risk for developing colorectal cancer, which may increase the risk of post-colonoscopy CRC (PCCRC). This study aims to assess the precision of a new laser-based measurement system (AccuMeasure, VTM Technologies Ltd.) for polyps during colonoscopy.
Discuss the efficacy and safety of argon plasma coagulation （APC）in comparison with clip closure for preventing colorectal post-procedure bleeding（PPB） after hot snare polypectomy（HSP）; analyze the risk factors and the cost-effectiveness of bleeding prophylaxis strategies with Decision Tree Analytical Method.
Colonoscopy is an exam which can be responsible for pain and discomfort for the patient. Therefore colonoscopy is performed most of the time under general anaesthesia. Moreover, drug-induced sedation comes with adverse effects especially among fragile patients. Besides, monitoring patients during and after sedation is both logistically demanding and costly. Virtual reality offers immersive and three dimensional experiences that distract the attention and might improve patients comfort. The aim of the study is to investigate the use of virtual reality during colonoscopy versus general anaesthesia.
