Colon biopsies: benefit or burden?

Abstract: Analyzing colon biopsies is becoming time consuming and a financial burden as colonoscopy is now the main screening and diagnostic procedure of the main gastrointestinal diseases. Colon sampling can provide important information when used accordingly; otherwise it may only load the medical system unnecessarily. Our aim was to retrospectively analyze criteria for colon biopsies and correlate the diagnostic value of randomly sampling colon, especially in patients with diarrhea. This was a retrospective study on … Show more

“…In the fluorescence images shown, sub-cellular mucosal features could be visualized to distinguish tubular adenomas (pre-malignant) from hyperplastic polyps (benign). These results demonstrate potential for endomicroscopy to reduce unnecessary biopsies 23 . Overall procedure-related complications may be decreased, surveillance intervals may be optimized, and histological analysis of insignificant lesions may be minimized.…”
