Abstract:
Objective To compare the diagnostic value of magnifying chromoendoscopy with probebased confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) for differentiation of neoplastic from non-neoplastic colorectal polyps. Methods A total of 16 consecutive patients, who were diagnosed as having polyps with endoscopy between December 2009 and January 2010 at Nanfang Hospital, were included in this study. The pit pattern of the polyp was first determined with magnifying chromoendoscopy in all patients. Then, confocal images of the polyps were recorded and subsequently analyzed offline. Using pathological diagnosis as golden standard,the sensitivity and specificity of the two methods were compared. Results A total of 26 polyps from 16 patients were found. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of magnifying chromoendoscopy was 94. 1%, 77.8%, 88. 8%, 87. 5% and 88.4%, respectively,while those of pCLE were 100. 0%, 88. 8%, 94. 4% ,100. 0% and 96. 1%, respectively. There was no significant difference between pCLE and magnifying chromoendoscopy. Conclusion In differentiation between neoplastic and non-neoplastic colorectal lesions, pCLE shows higher sensitivity and specificity than does magnifying chromoendoscopy, although without significant difference. pCLE can be used as a new real time method to determine the property of colorectal polyps.
