| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Early diagnosis of colitis-associated cancer and dysplasia (CC/D) through surveillance endoscopy is critical in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). The objective of this study was to investigate the fluorescence signal localization pattern in autofluorescence endoscopy (AFE) following 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) administration in tumorous lesions diagnosed histopathologically as CC/D, and to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of detection of tumorous lesions by white light endoscopy (WLE) observation with and without AFE observation. In conclusion, AFE using 5-ALA can detect CC/D lesions in patients with long-standing UC, including some lesions that are not detected with WLE. The results indicated that Lesions that could not be detected with WLE could be detected with AFE. In addition, distinctive fluorescence patterns in lesions could allow qualitative diagnosis of the CC/D lesions.
