Targeted Biopsies Identify Larger Proportions of Patients With Colonic Neoplasia Undergoing High-Definition Colonoscopy, Dye Chromoendoscopy, or Electronic Virtual Chromoendoscopy

摘要

BACKGROUND & AIMS: It is unclear what are the best and most appropriate endoscopic procedures for detecting colonic neoplasia in patients with long-term colonic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Dye chromoendoscopy (DCE) is the standard used in IBD surveillance colonoscopies. However, studies are needed to determine the optimal endoscopic technique for detecting dysplastic lesions. We investigated current practices used in surveillance colonoscopies by IBD gastroenterologists at a single tertiary center. We also determined the rate of neoplasia detection among different surveillance endoscopic techniques in an analysis of random or targeted biopsies.
