title: Chromocolonoscopy.
abstract: Chromoendoscopy techniques improve the visualization of mucosal structures. This article reviews and summarizes key studies addressing the impact of chromoendoscopy on colonic neoplasia detection and differentiation of neoplastic from non-neoplastic polyps in average and high-risk populations, including patients with colonic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In this context, there are convincing data that chromoendoscopy differentiates neoplastic from non-neoplastic polyps in average-risk populations with high accuracy. Moreover, dye-based chromoendoscopy improves neoplasia detection in colonic IBD surveillance.
