Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Signal to background ratios of identified colonic lesions under white light and under fluorescence
Time Frame: During procedure
This outcome measure compares the fluorescence signal of lesions identified during colonoscopy.
During procedure
Number of dysplastic and cancerous lesions identified under white light and under fluorescence
Time Frame: During procedure
Number of lesions identified under white light colonoscopy will be compared to the number of lesions identified under fluorescence.
During procedure

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of dysplastic and cancerous lesions identified under white light and fluorescence in different subgroups
Time Frame: 12 months
Assessment of subgroups including ulcerative colitis, lesions suspicious of sessile serrated adenomas / traditional serrated adenomas
12 months
Resection margin of of lesions undergoing TEMS resection under white light and under fluorescence.
Time Frame: 12 months
Planned resection margins will be compared under white light and under fluorescence. R0/R1 resection rates will be assessed post operatively.
12 months
