Screening colonoscopy is an effective method to reduce the incidence of and mortality from colorectal cancer (CRC). There is little empirical evidence available about the optimal interval for screening, making this a subject of debate. We associated the prevalence of advanced colorectal neoplasms with time since negative colonoscopies. In a study of participants in the German colonoscopy screening program, we determined the prevalence of colorectal neoplasias detected at screening colonoscopy among subjects who had undergone a previous colonoscopy without detection of polyps (negative colonoscopy). Data were compared with that from subjects who had not received colonoscopies.

Comparison of Probe-Based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy With Virtual Chromoendoscopy for Classification of Colon Polyps
Anna M. Buchner, Muhammad W. Shahid, Michael G. Heckman, Murli Krishna, Marwan Ghabril, Muhammad Hasan, Julia E. Crook, Victoria Gomez, Massimo Raimondo, Timothy Woodward, Herbert C. Wolfsen, Michael B. Wallace
Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) allows in vivo imaging of tissue at micron resolution. Virtual chromoendoscopy systems, such as Fujinon intelligent color enhancement and narrow band imaging, also have potential to differentiate neoplastic colorectal lesions.
