Chromoendoscopy for Ulcerative Colitis Surveillance

NCT00274209 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 100

Last updated 2011-11-22

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Long-standing ulcerative colitis is associated with an increased cancer risk. Chromoendoscopy with dye spraying can detect subtle abnormalities that are not visible with standard endoscopy. The purpose of this study is to determine if chromoendoscopy with fewer "targeted biopsies" can replace standard colonoscopy with multiple "random" biopsies.
