SAN DIEGO, California — A balloon colonoscope increases the detection rate of polyps and adenomas compared with standard colonoscopy (SC), catching numerous polyps and adenomas that SC missed when ...

Increasing patient comfort may translate into higher screening rates for colon cancer, researchers said at Digestive Disease Week 2006. A new colonoscopy system promises a gentler procedure (abstract ...

Ingestion of a blue dye tablet during bowel prep for colonoscopy could be a significant advance in the early detection of colorectal cancer (CRC). When used in conjunction with colonoscopy, the blue ...

The accuracy of computed tomographic colonography ("virtual colonoscopy") for the detection of colorectal cancer is lower than that for conventional colonoscopy, suggesting that use of "virtual" ...

A colonoscopy technique involving repeat intubation of the sigmoid colon significantly improves detection of adenomas compared with conventional colonoscopy evaluations, new research showed. “After ...

Quality in colonoscopy is defined by the capacity to detect and characterise premalignant lesions, thereby reducing the incidence of colorectal cancer and interval carcinomas. Key performance ...

A study presented at Digestive Disease Week 2017 examined the effectiveness of an underwater colonoscopy technique, Medscape reports. UC Irvine Medical Center Anish Patel, MD, and colleagues used an ...

A new study published in the August issue of GIE: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, the scientific journal of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, shows that the use of retroflexion ...

Reston, Va.—A study published in the June issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine shows that positron emission tomography (PET)—a molecular imaging technique—combined with computer tomography (CT) ...

Adenoma detection rates during colonoscopy might be influenced by procedural technique and the time taken by the endoscopist to withdraw the colonoscope. This single-center, prospective study included ...

BHUBANESWAR: High quality withdrawal technique during colonoscopy could improve adenoma detection rate (ADR) and bring down the risk of interval colorectal cancer (CRC), a new study has suggested. The ...
