Resect and Discard Strategy in Clinical Practice

NCT01462123 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 286

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Nowadays, post-polypectomy surveillance intervals are determined by combining endoscopic and pathologic data. Real-time imaging technologies, have shown promising results in discriminating adenomatous from non-adenomatous polyps.

The "resect and discard strategy" for small polyps (based on real-time assessment of the histology and on the endoscopic resection without pathological examination) has been shown to be cost-effective in simulation models. No data exist about the impact of this strategy in clinical practice.

The aim of present study was to assess whether the systematic use, in the everyday clinical practice, of the "resect and discard strategy" allows to correctly manage patients with small colonic polyps.
