Validation of Clinical Efficacy and Development of New Diagnostic Algorithm of Probe-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy in Patients With Lower Gastrointestinal Disorder

Not Applicable
Conditions
Lower Gastrointestinal Disorders
Interventions
Procedure: probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy
Registration Number
NCT02091895
Lead Sponsor
Yonsei University
Brief Summary

The aims of this research are to validate and develop of therapeutic strategies for patients with colorectal lesions in real time through pCLE(probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy). Endomicroscopy is a technique for obtaining histology-like images from inside the human body in real-time. Total objections are 311 patients.

Specific research topics are as below.

1. Diagnosis and classification of colon polyps through pCLE

2. Evaluation of the depth of invasion of colorectal cancer or lateral growth type tumor through the pCLE

3. Differential diagnosis of colorectal submucosal tumor through the pCLE

4. Differential diagnosis of ileocecal ulcers through the pCLE

The study will be conducted to measure sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, amphoteric predict of pCLE diagnosis, and calculate the agreement of prediction compared to the pathological findings of lesions Check diagnostic agreement of technical phrases which are derived, the matching degree between observers, and will develope a new classification method based on this.
