Research summary
Colorectal cancer is a major health problem. Most colorectal cancers develop from precursor lesions (polyps), and early detection and removal of these polyps can reduce rate and improve outcome of colorectal cancer.
Colonoscopy is the gold standard test to detect and remove polyps, however it has some limitations including a significant polyp miss rate.
Computer aided detection (CADe) and diagnosis (CADx) of polyps is rapidly progressing and recent studies have shown promising results. However, there is still lack of high-quality data from well-designed and implemented randomised trials and hence the need for this study.
This is an investigator-initiated multi-centre randomised controlled trial aiming to investigate how an approved and CE marked CADe device can support endoscopists on detection and diagnosis of colorectal polyps.
