Summary

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most frequent gastrointestinal tumor and the second cause of cancer related death. Colonoscopy is currently the recommended method for detection of polyps and cancers in the colon. Removal of all adenomatous polyps during colonoscopy has become worldwide a standard procedure as it has been demonstrated to significantly reduce colorectal cancer incidence and mortality. It is routine practice to remove all the detected polyps for pathological evaluation, due to the low accuracy (59% to 84%) to differentiate non-neoplastic from neoplastic colorectal lesions with white-light endoscopy. The development of electronic or virtual chromoendoscopy (CE) has aimed to reliably predict histology of colorectal lesions based on endoscopic features. This technology differentiates between neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions base on the analysis of the neo-angiogenesis and the mucosal pit pattern. Optical endoscopic diagnosis allows the real-time evaluation of polyp histology during colonoscopy and to determine the appropriate therapeutic strategy. This is important in clinical practice, since adenomas or superficial invasive submucosal carcinoma lesions can be curatively treated by endoscopic removal, unlike deeply invasive carcinomas, which requires surgery. The Narrow-band imaging (NBI) international colorectal endoscopic (NICE) classification is validated classification system proposed as a valid tool for not only differentiating hyperplastic from adenomatous polyps, but also predicting submucosal deep (SM-d) carcinomas. It was developed based on NBI technology, leaving uncertainty on its applicability to other systems. It was previously evaluated the application of the NICE classification to Fujinon spectral Imaging Color Enhancement (FICE) technology founding suboptimal results (accuracy 77%, sensitivity 77% and specificity 75%) and moderate inter-observer agreement (kappa: 0.51).

Conditions

  • Colorectal Polyp

Interventions

DEVICE

Pentax chromoendoscopy (i-scan and Optical Enhancement)

All lesions will be evaluated using the 3 i-scan modes and the 2 OE modes without magnification. The lesion size data, location and macroscopic shape of the lesions based on the Paris classification will be recorded. Finally all lesions will be classified in real-time into 3 types based on NICE classification (NICE 1, hyperplastic polyps; NICE 2, adenoma and superficial submucosal carcinoma; NICE 3, SM-d invasive carcinoma). A level of confidence (high or low) will be assign in each stage. Polyp's images will be photographically and videotape recorded. All polyps will be resected or biopsied for histopathological examination used as the criterion standard for the analysis.
