Brief Title: Detection of Endoscopic Resection Scars and Delineation of Recurrence is Trainable
Official Title: Detection of Endoscopic Resection Scars and Delineation of Recurrence Amongst Non-experts is Less Accurate Than Experts But Trainable in a Short Learning Intervention
Study ID: NCT06193356
Brief Summary: Colorectal cancer is prevented by colonoscopy and polypectomy. Failure to recognize the endoscopic resection scar after Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) risks unrecognized recurrent or residual adenoma (RRA), which may propagate into post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer. Expert series suggest scar recognition and interrogation is well performed with a high negative predictive value of endoscopic imaging vs histopathology. In this study the authors will investigate the performance of endoscopic imaging in detecting RRA at an endoscopic resection scar amongst general endoscopist and the impact of a learning intervention on recognition of RRA.
