Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The additional diagnostic value of dye-based chromoendosocpy (CE) for surveillance of patients with Lynch syndrome is subject of debate.

METHODS: To clarify this debate, we performed an individual patient data meta-analysis of randomized studies that compared CE with WLE for the detection of adenomas in patients with Lynch syndrome.

RESULTS: Three randomized studies comprising 533 patients were included. The adenoma detection rate was 74/265 (28%) in patients randomized to WLE compared with 83/266 (31%) in patients randomized to CE (odds ratio 1.17; 95% confidence interval 0.81-1.70).

DISCUSSION: Based on low-quality evidence, CE showed no apparent increase in adenoma detection compared to WLE during surveillance of patients with Lynch syndrome.
