Mo1659 DYSPLASIA DETECTION WITH RANDOM BIOPIES AFTER HIGH DEFINITION AND VIRTUAL ELECTRONIC CHROMOENDOSCOPY IN INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE: RESULTS FROM A LATIN-AMERICAN REFERRAL CENTER

Patients with longstanding inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (ulcerative colitis [UC] or colonic Crohn ’s disease [CD]) have an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Surveillance colonoscopy (SC) is recommended to detect dysplasia and techniques are variable in clinical practice. Random biopsies remain controversial and even panellists from recent international consensus could not reach agreem ent on this issue when performing SC with chromoendoscopy. Recent data supports its use on high risk patients.
