Capsule endoscopy vs colonoscopy vs histopathology in colorectal cancer screening: Matched analyses of polyp size, morphology, and location estimates
International Journal of Colorectal Disease May 08, 2018
Blanes-Vidal V, et al. - Researchers sought to investigate the accuracy of colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) in polyp size and morphology estimation for colorectal cancer screening. A new algorithm was formulated in order to match CCE and optical colonoscopy (OC) polyps, based on objective measures of similarity between polyps. Findings displayed that if CCE was to be used as a screening test, it was essential to translate CCE polyp estimations into histopathologic polyp sizes and to take into account that, compared to OC, CCE has a higher tendency to assess polyps as pedunculated and a lower tendency to evaluate them as flat.
