Narrow-Band Imaging Versus Standard White Light for the Detection of Serrated Lesions in the Proximal Colon

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Colon Cancer

In brief

This is a study to determine if using Narrow-Band Imaging of the colon, rather than the usual white light on the colon, will improve the detection of a type of polyp called serrated. The polyps are called serrated because of their appearance under the microscope after they have been removed. They tend to be located up high in the colon, far away from the rectum. They have been definitely shown to be a type of precancerous polyp and it is possible that using Narrow-Band Imaging will make it easier to see them, as they can be quite difficult to see with standard white light.
