VIENNA ― With computer-aided detection , more adenomas were found, and ther was a twofold reduction in missed adenomas for patients undergoing screening or surveillance, according to results from a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial that compared it with conventional colonoscopy.
Their study aimed to evaluate a novel CADe system in patients referred for screening or surveillance colonoscopy . The ADR, which was a secondary outcome, was higher with CADe than with conventional colonoscopy , while the AMR was lower, at 19% vs 36%. As opposed to detecting small polyps, the value of which is controversial, the CADILLAC study investigated whether CADe was useful in the detection of advanced and more significant lesions, explained presenter Carolina Mangas-Sanjuan, MD, a gastroenterologist from the Hospital General Universitario de Alicante, Spain.
