Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Correlation between WLI and / or NBI with histopathological diagnosis. - Accuracy: percentage of true results = (true positives + true negatives)/ total results. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| there are 6 different substudies. Every study has its own secondary outcomes. 4 secondary goals are: 1. To identify NBI + WLI as superior to WLI alone in the early detection of local HNC recurrences after first line treatment 2. To identify NBI + WLI as a better diagnostic and staging tool in the determination of tumor field and as a consequence tumor staging than WLI alone 3. To conclude that inter-observer and intra-observer variability/reliability in the visual analysis of benign and (pre) malignant lesions in the upper aerodigestive tract is higher using NBI+WLI than WLI alone. 4. To increase reliability and decrease inter-/intra-observer variability by creating a NBIatlas which will be helpful in correct interpretation of NBI and can be used as a standard reference in ENT/head and neck oncology in order to increase earlier detection of (pre)malignant HNC lesions using NBI | — |
