Abstract
Background/Aims Chromoendoscopy (CE) has been shown to be superior to white light endoscopy (WLE) for neoplasia detection in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We aimed to compare the yield of CE and WLE for the detection of overall neoplasia and advanced neoplasia in IBD. Methods Patients who underwent surveillance colonoscopy from 1999 to 2017 were identified from our IBD database. CE procedures were compared with their respective WLE controls in a paired comparison, and frequency of all neoplasia, advanced neoplasia, and serrated neoplasia was assessed for both targeted and random biopsies. Results A total of 290 procedures performed in 98 individuals were identified with a median follow-up 4 years (median 3 colonoscopies/patient). CE and WLE were performed in 159 and 131 episodes, respectively. CE detected neoplasia in 40.9% of colonoscopies versus 23.7% with WLE (P= 0.002). In addition, CE detected more advanced neoplasia (18.2% vs. 6.1%, P= 0.002) and serrated lesions (14.5% vs. 6.1%, P= 0.022). Significantly fewer samples were obtained per procedure with CE (14.9 ± 9.7 vs. 20.9 ± 11.1, P< 0.001). Cancer was diagnosed in 2 cases. Conclusions CE has a higher detection rate than WLE for advanced neoplasia and serrated lesions in patients with IBD under surveillance. Further prospective studies evaluating the impact of CE on decreasing the risk of interval cancer and colectomy in IBD patients are warranted.

Gastroenterology 2017; 152:1337-1344.e3. [PMID: 28126349 DOI: 10.1053/j.gastro.2017.01.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2016] [Revised: 01/02/2017] [Accepted: 01/05/2017] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) increase the risk of colorectal cancer. Surveillance colonoscopy with chromoendoscopy is recommended, but conventional forward-viewing colonoscopy (FVC) detects dysplasia with low levels of sensitivity. Full-spectrum endoscopy (FUSE) incorporates 2 additional lateral cameras to the forward camera of the colonoscope, allowing endoscopists to view behind folds and in blind spots, which might increase dysplasia detection. We compared FUSE vs FVC in the detection of dysplasia in patients with IBDs. METHODS We performed a prospective, randomized, cross-over, tandem colonoscopy study comparing FVC vs FUSE in 52 subjects with IBD undergoing surveillance for neoplasia in Australia (23 with Crohn's colitis, 29 with ulcerative colitis; median age, 45.0 y; 60% male; mean IBD duration, 16.4 y). All subjects met national IBD surveillance inclusion criteria; 27 were assigned randomly to groups that underwent FVC followed by FUSE, and 25 were assigned to groups that underwent FUSE followed by FVC. All procedures were performed from February 2014 through December 2015. Random biopsy specimens were collected and visible lesions were collected; all were analyzed histologically. The primary end point was dysplasia missed by the first colonoscopy detected by the second colonoscopy. Dysplasia was diagnosed by an expert gastrointestinal pathologist blinded to the colonoscope allocation in consensus with a second expert pathologist. RESULTS FVC missed 71.4% of dysplastic lesions per lesion whereas FUSE missed 25.0% per lesion (P = .0001); FVC missed 75.0% of dysplastic lesions per subject and FUSE missed 25.0% per subject (P = .046). FUSE identified a mean of 0.37 dysplastic lesions and FVC identified a mean of 0.13 dysplastic lesions (P = .044). The total colonoscopy times were similar (21.2 min for FUSE vs 19.1 min for FVC; P = .32), but withdrawal time was significantly longer for FUSE (15.8 min) than for FVC (12.0 min) (P = .03). Correcting for per-unit withdrawal time, the mean dysplasia miss rate per subject was significantly lower for FUSE (0.19) than for FVC (0.83; P < .0001). Targeted tissue acquisition identified significantly more dysplastic lesions than random biopsies (P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS In a prospective cross-over study of IBD patients undergoing surveillance colonoscopy, we found panoramic views obtained by full-spectrum endoscopy increased the number of dysplastic lesions detected, compared with conventional forward-viewing colonoscopy.

Abstract
Enhanced surveillance colonoscopy techniques for dysplasia detection in ulcerative colitis have successfully been implemented into group and solo practices. Chromoendoscopy (CE), in particular, has been shown to significantly increase dysplasia detection in surveillance of patients with inflammatory bowel disease. CE can be learned and is reproducible, with an associated modest increase in procedure time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Procedure length and agreement in detection of abnormalities may limit implementation of chromoendoscopy (CE) for dysplasia surveillance in ulcerative colitis (UC). We investigated these factors among endoscopists inexperienced in this technique. METHODS Six investigators performed surveillance colonoscopy with white light endoscopy (WLE) followed by CE on 75 patients with long-standing UC. Interobserver agreement for WLE and CE images of polyps and nonpolypoid mucosa was determined. Withdrawal times from the cecum were compared based on number of colonoscopies performed. Dysplasia detection rate with WLE was compared with CE. RESULTS The analysis of 586 images (266 WLE and 320 CE) from 57 patients included images of 160 polyps (64 flat) with 29 dysplastic lesions. All investigators identified 10/11 WLE images of dysplasia and 4 identified all 18 CE dysplasia images, 1 missed 1 and 1 missed 3. Four dysplastic lesions were not identified by 1 or more investigators and all measured <5 mm. Interobserver agreement for lesions was high with kappa scores of 0.91 and 0.86 for WLE and CE, respectively. Among the 75 patients enrolled, dysplasia was found in 9.3% with WLE compared with 21.3% with WLE and CE (P = 0.007). Median colonoscopy withdrawal time improved from 31 minutes for endoscopists performing fewer than 5 procedures to 18 minutes for 5 to 14 and 19 minutes for more than 15 procedures. CONCLUSIONS Indigo carmine CE for UC surveillance resulted in high rates of interobserver agreement for polyp detection, acceptable withdrawal times, and enhanced dysplasia detection. These results are encouraging for the implementation of CE programs for chronic UC.

Abstract
This article reviews the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which will grow in prevalence as the population ages. Prognosis of late-onset ulcerative colitis (UC) is generally similar to that of early-onset UC, whereas in Crohn disease it is probably better because of a tendency for colonic involvement. Disease complications are related more to the duration of the inflammatory bowel disease than the subject's current age. The diagnosis in elderly patients can be challenging due to the large number of conditions that mimic IBD on radiologic, endoscopic, and histologic testing. Distinguishing these conditions from IBD will significantly alter prognosis and treatment. Complications related to IBD and its treatment are common and must be recognized early to limit their impact in a vulnerable elderly population.
