Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
In European countries, colorectal cancer (CRC) represents an important public health problem. It is widely held view that most carcinomas develop from an adenoma-carcinoma progression. Adenoma detection rate (ADR) is a marker of high quality colonoscopy and it was inversely associated with the risk of interval colorectal cancer, advanced-stage interval cancer, and fatal interval cancer after colonoscopy. Although colonoscopy is considered the gold standard for adenoma detection, it has shown some limits, so industry has aimed at increasing detection rate of adenomas providing new technologies, most of witch to detect lesions located in blind spots. ARC Endocuff Vision (AEV), the second generation of Endocuff, represents a new generation of these devices, thus assessing the diagnostic sensibility of ARC Endocuff Vision assisted colonoscopy (EAC) is an interesting challenge. Aim of the study is to compare ADR of EAC versus standard colonoscopy among FIT positive subjects in the context of CRC screening programs.
