Magnifying narrow-band imaging with acetic acid to diagnose early colorectal cancer.
World J Gastroenterol
November 2014
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of magnifying endoscopy with acetic acid spray and narrow-band imaging (MA-NBI) in distinguishing early colorectal cancer from adenomas.
- It comprised two phases: the first involved colonoscopists evaluating still images of colorectal polyps, while the second included real-time assessments of polyps during colonoscopy, measuring accuracy and predictive values.
- Results showed that MA-NBI had better diagnostic characteristics than M-NBI, while M-CV outperformed both methods, particularly in terms of sensitivity and specific predictive values.
