Colorectal Cancer Screening and Detection

Colonoscopy is the gold standard for colon cancer screening and prevention. Several new technologies have recently emerged in order to better assist gastroenterologists in their evaluation of the colonic mucosa to find and remove polyps during screening and surveillance colonoscopies. The ARC EndoCuff is a disposable plastic device with soft, hair-like projections that is placed at the tip of the colonoscope prior to the procedure (Image 1.). The device helps to stabilize the tip of the colonoscope and assists in flattening the folds of the colonic mucosa in order to better evaluate proximal colonic folds. We performed a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent screening and surveillance colonoscopy with and without EndoCuff. The aim of our study was to assess whether EndoCuff was more effective at detecting polyps and adenomas.
