Endoscopic microscopy of the colon.
The authors analyse the results of endoscopic colonomicroscopy at various magnifications in 250 patients. A study of dye absorption in different histological types of colonic tumor made it possible to establish that chromocolonoscopy is an effective method in diagnosing and differentiating some types of tumors and hyperplastic changes in the mucosa of the colon. Adenomas with severe dysplasia of the glandular epithelium, and tumors with a structure of an adenocarcinoma do not readily accept vital staining.
