Sa1900 COMPARISON OF COLONOSCOPY WITH VIRTUAL CHROMOENDOSCOPY USING THIRD GENERATION NARROW BAND IMAGING SYSTEM TO CHROMOENDOSCOPY WITH INDIGO CARMINE IN LYNCH SYNDROME PATIENTS (THE LYNCH-CHROMO STUDY)

Colonoscopic surveillance with indigo carmine chromoendoscopy (ICC) in Lynch Syndrome (LS) patients improves adenoma detection rate and is widely used nowadays. Nevertheless, it is a time-and money-consuming technique which requires a dedicated training. Narrow band imaging (NBI) is a well-known virtual chromoendoscopy technique that highlights superficial mucosal vessels and improves contrast for adenomas. We conducted a prospective multicenter study in a back-to-back fashion to compare 3rd generation NBI to ICC for detecting colonic adenomas in LS patients.
