Screening colonoscopy: What is the most reliable modality for the detection and characterization of colorectal lesions?

Abstract: Colonoscopy is considered the best modality for the detection and treatment of colorectal polyps. However, some polyps still may not be detected. Although conventional white‐light endoscopy is the gold standard for the detection of colorectal polyps, up to a fifth of lesions may be missed on screening colonoscopy, especially non‐polypoid colorectal neoplasms. Recently, many studies have reported on various endoscopic modalities that improve the detection and characterization of colorectal lesions. Newly develo… Show more

“…In addition, flat lesions were identified more frequently in the endocuff group than in the conventional group. This is significant because of the difficulty in identifying this type of lesion with conventional white light [26]. Recently, the Endocuff Vision (Arc Medical Design Ltd) has become available in some countries (not in Mexico).…”

“… 5 , 6 Colonoscopy is not only a screening tool but is also required for the treatment and surveillance of colorectal lesions. 9 It has been reported that the use of colonoscopy for removing adenomatous polyps can reduce mortality by up to 53%. 10 Besides its use for primary screening, colonoscopy is also used to verify the outcomes of other screening techniques such as the fecal occult blood test.…”

“…Colonoscopic removal of adenomatous polyps reduces mortality from colorectal cancer by up to 60%, and the risk of colorectal cancer within 10 years of colonoscopic polypectomy has been reported to be reduced to that of the general population [ 4 , 5 ]. However, according a previous study, up to a fifth of lesions may be missed on colonoscopy screening [ 6 ]. The missed lesions have the potential to develop into CRC [ 7 ].…”
