Brief summary
Chromocolonoscopy with acetic acid and indigo carmine has shown promise for improving the detection of sessile serrated lesions (SSLs), the precursor lesions responsible for a substantial proportion of interval colorectal cancers. Previous studies have demonstrated its potential to enhance visualization of both adenomatous and non-adenomatous polyps, particularly the subtle SSLs that are frequently missed during conventional white-light colonoscopy. However, high-quality randomized controlled trials comparing chromocolonoscopy with standard white-light imaging to provide definitive evidence on its efficacy for SSL detection are lacking. We therefore conducted a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the diagnostic yield of acetic acid-indigo carmine chromocolonoscopy versus standard colonoscopy for SSL detection.
Interventions
Participants undergo colonoscopy with acetic acid-indigo carmine chromoendoscopy. After successful cecal intubation and randomization, the colonoscope is withdrawn and a spray catheter is used to apply an opaque acetic acid-indigo carmine solution from the cecum to the splenic flexure.
Participants undergo colonoscopy with brilliant blue dye application as a sham chromoendoscopy control to maintain participant blinding. After cecal intubation and randomization, an opaque brilliant blue solution is sprayed from the cecum to the splenic flexure using a spray catheter, with suctioning of any excess dye.
