Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of adding upper endoscopy to colonoscopy for patients with a positive fecal immunochemical test, particularly in detecting upper digestive lesions.
- Data was analyzed from 100 patients who had both procedures, revealing a 58% incidence of upper digestive lesions, including infections and precancerous conditions.
- Findings from the upper endoscopy influenced patient management in 44% of cases, suggesting it may be beneficial for screening, but further research is needed to confirm efficacy and cost-effectiveness.
