Accuracy of capsule colonoscopy in detecting colorectal polyps in a screening population.

چکیده
BACKGROUND & AIMS Capsule colonoscopy is a minimally invasive imaging method. We measured the accuracy of this technology in detecting polyps 6 mm or larger in an average-risk screening population. METHODS In a prospective study, asymptomatic subjects (n = 884) underwent capsule colonoscopy followed by conventional colonoscopy (the reference) several weeks later, with an endoscopist blinded to capsule results, at 10 centers in the United States and 6 centers in Israel from June 2011 through April 2012. An unblinded colonoscopy was performed on subjects found to have lesions 6 mm or larger by capsule but not conventional colonoscopy. RESULTS Among the 884 subjects enrolled, 695 (79%) were included in the analysis of capsule performance for all polyps. There were 77 exclusions (9%) for inadequate cleansing and whole-colon capsule transit time fewer than 40 minutes, 45 exclusions (5%) before capsule ingestion, 15 exclusions (2%) after ingestion and before colonoscopy, and 15 exclusions (2%) for site termination. Capsule colonoscopy identified subjects with 1 or more polyps 6 mm or larger with 81% sensitivity (95% confidence interval [CI], 77%-84%) and 93% specificity (95% CI, 91%-95%), and polyps 10 mm or larger with 80% sensitivity (95% CI, 74%-86%) and 97% specificity (95% CI, 96%-98%). Capsule colonoscopy identified subjects with 1 or more conventional adenomas 6 mm or larger with 88% sensitivity (95% CI, 82%-93) and 82% specificity (95% CI, 80%-83%), and 10 mm or larger with 92% sensitivity (95% CI, 82%-97%) and 95% specificity (95% CI, 94%-95%). Sessile serrated polyps and hyperplastic polyps accounted for 26% and 37%, respectively, of false-negative findings from capsule analyses. CONCLUSIONS In an average-risk screening population, technically adequate capsule colonoscopy identified individuals with 1 or more conventional adenomas 6 mm or larger with 88% sensitivity and 82% specificity. Capsule performance seems adequate for patients who cannot undergo colonoscopy or who had incomplete colonoscopies. Additional studies are needed to improve capsule detection of serrated lesions.

Conventional colonoscopy is regarded as the gold standard procedure for the diagnosis of colorectal neoplasms despite its several limitations including invasiveness, discomfort and potential complications. Colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) could be an attractive alternative method to the invasive colonoscopy for the diagnosis of colorectal cancer and polyps. Publications regarding the use of CCE fo...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) is a noninvasive and painless technique used to explore the colon without sedation or air insufflation. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the accuracy of CCE in detecting colorectal polyps. METHODS The MEDLINE, EMBASE, and SCOPUS databases were searched, from 2006 to 2009, for the terms "colon capsule" and "Pillcam col...

Background & Aim: Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer and the third leading cause of cancer death. Most often it is derived from an adenomatous polyp. Therefore, detection and treatment of these baseline polyps could potentially decrease the prevalence and incidence of colorectal cancers. One of these screening procedures is colonoscopy, which is more Precise than others lik...
