Endoscopic Optical Coherence Tomography for Screening and Diagnosis of Colorectal Precancerous and Malignant Polyps

ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer arises from the mucosal layer of the colon. Current screening is performed by flexible endoscopy, which involves visual inspection of the mucosal lining of the colon and rectum with an optical camera mounted on the endoscope, with abnormal areas being biopsied. This method is somewhat limited in that there are no readily available surface pattern or morphological classification systems with adequate sensitivity or specificity to evaluate extent of submucosal invasion (deep, superficial, or none). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) using pattern recognition is a high-resolution imaging modality. There is currently an unmet need to predict depth of invasion for colonic tumors to decide on applicability of endoscopic (endoscopic submucosal dissection or endoscopic mucosal resection) vs. surgical therapy. The investigators’ hypothesis is that OCT will have a higher diagnostic accuracy for determining depth of submucosal invasion compared to existing modalities. The investigators will first aim to assess the procedural feasibility and safety of using an OCT probe during routine colonoscopy with an early feasibility study. This study will identify appropriate modifications to the device and help with development of subsequent clinical study protocols. The eventual goal is to assess the diagnostic accuracy of OCT imaging for predicting depth of invasion of colonic tumors.

Project description:International guidelines recommend deciding the treatment of colorectal lesions based on the estimated histology by endoscopic optical diagnosis. However, the theoretical and practical knowledge on optical diagnosis is not widely expanded The mail goal of this randomised controlled trial is to compare the pooled sensitivity of optical diagnosis for predicting deep submucosal invasion in large non-pedunculated polyps > 20 mm assessed in routine colonoscopies of gastroenterologists attending a e-learning module (intervention group) vs gastroenterologists who do not (control group) The main questions the study aims to answer are: * Is the pooled sensitivity of optical diagnosis for predicting deep submucosal invasion in large non-pedunculated polyps assessed in routine colonoscopies increased in those gastroenterologists participating in the e-learning module? * Is the pooled diagnostic accuracy of optical diagnosis for predicting deep sm invasion in large non-pedunculated polyps ≥ 20 mm assessed in routine colonoscopies increased in those gastroenterologists participating in the e-learning module? * In lesions with submucosal invasion, is the en bloc and complete resection rate (R0) increased in those gastroenterologists participating in the e-learning module? * In lesions referred to surgery, is the pooled benign polyps rate decreased in those gastroenterologists participating in the e-learning module? * In lesions treated with advanced en bloc procedures (ESD, TAMIS, fullthickness resection), is the pooled rate of histology with high-grade dysplasia, intramucosal cancer or submucosal invasion increased in those gastroenterologists participating in the e-learning module? * In lesions treated with piecemeal endoscopic resection, is the pooled rate of histology with high-grade dysplasia, intramucosal cancer or submucosal invasion decreased in those gastroenterologists participating in the e-learning module? * Is the diagnostic accuracy for predicting deep submucosal invasion in a test with pictures increased after participating in the e-learning module? The participants (or subjects of study) are gastroenterologists. They will be randomised to do the e-learning course (intervention group) or not (control group). Researchers will compare clinical outcomes of gastroenterologists participating in the e-learning module vs gastroenterologists not participating in the e-learning module to see if: * the pooled sensitivity of optical diagnosis for predicting deep submucosal invasion in large non-pedunculated polyps > 20 mm assessed in routine colonoscopies is increased. * the pooled diagnostic accuracy of optical diagnosis for predicting deep sm invasion in large non-pedunculated polyps > 20 mm is increased. * the en bloc and complete resection rate (R0) is increased in lesions with submucosal invasion. * the pooled benign polyps rate decreased in lesions referred to surgery. * the pooled rate of histology with high-grade dysplasia, intramucosal cancer or submucosal invasion increased in lesions treated with advanced en bloc procedures (ESD, TAMIS, fullthickness resection). * the pooled rate of histology with high-grade dysplasia, intramucosal cancer or submucosal invasion decreased in lesions treated with piecemeal endoscopic resection. * the diagnostic accuracy for predicting deep submucosal invasion in a test with pictures after participating is increased.
