Endocytoscopy can identify dysplasia in aberrant crypt foci of the colorectum: a prospective in vivo study
12 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIM: A catheter-type endocytoscope has recently been developed that is able to provide in vivo cellular images of gastrointestinal mucosa. Aberrant crypt foci (ACF) represent the earliest precursor of colorectal cancer featuring the dysplasia-carcinoma sequence.
