Mo1649 HIGH DEFINITION WHITE LIGHT AND VIRTUAL ELECTRONIC CHROMOENDOSCOPY FOR DYSPLASIA DETECTION IN INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE: RESULTS FROM A LATIN-AMERICAN REFERRAL CENTER

Patients with longstanding ulcerative colitis (UC) or colonic Crohn ’s disease (CD) have an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). The overall prevalence of low grade dysplasia (LGD) in this population is around 10%. Surveillance colonoscopy (SC) is recommended to detect dysplasia.
