Full-spectrum Endoscopy in Colorectal Cancer Screening

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Colorectal Cancer
Interventions
Procedure: colonoscopy procedure
Registration Number
NCT02812550
Lead Sponsor
Hospital del Río Hortega
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the adenoma detection rates of full-spectrum endoscopy versus standard forward-viewing colonoscopy in colorectal cancer screening programme.

Detailed Description

Colorectal cancer is the third most common neoplasia and the second leading cause of cancer death in West countries. Colonoscopy is the gold standard for prevention of colorectal cancer disease. Screening for colorectal cancer with biennial faecal occult blood testing is a widely used strategy followed by colonoscopy for those with a positive test. Colonoscopy identifies polyps during the procedure as well as polyp removal in order to prevent progression to cancer. Although, interval cancer appears after a colonoscopy because of 22-28% of polyp missed rates. Advanced Technology may improve adenoma detection rates so decrease interval cancer and reduce mortally. Full-spectrum endoscopy with 330º angle vision decrease adenoma miss rate in general population.

The investigators conducted a randomized trial in patients from colorectal cancer screening programme (aged 50-69 years) after faecal immunological test positive. One arm the colonoscopy is performed with standard forward view colonoscopy (170º angle view) and the other arm is performed with full-spectrum endoscopy (EndoChoice) (330º angle view)

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
adenoma detection rate in the two different colonoscopiesone week

number of colonoscopies at wich one or more histologically confirmed adenomas were found divided by the total number of colonoscopies performed in the same time period.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
polyp detection rate in right and left colon in each groupone week
polyp retrieval rate in each groupone week

proportion of resected polyps that were retrieved and sent for histologically analysis

total procedure time in each groupone week

time since the begining of the procedure till is totally finish

Adverse eventsone week

Any inmediatly complication

advance adenoma rate in each groupone week

10mm or greater in size, villous component or high grade dysplasia

colonoscopy withdrawal timeone week
