The incremental benefit of dye-based chromoendoscopy to predict the risk of submucosal invasive cancer in large nonpedunculated colorectal polyps

Detailed lesion assessment of large ( ≥20 mm) nonpedunculated colorectal polyps (LNPCPs) can help predict the risk of submucosal invasive cancer (SMIC). Traditionally this has required the use of dye-based chromoendoscopy (DBC). We sought to assess the accuracy and incremental benefit of DBC in addition to high-definition white light (HDWL) and virtual chromoendoscopy (VCE) for the prediction of SMIC within LNPCPs.
