The benefits of targeted endoscopic biopsy performed using the autofluorescence based diagnostic technique in gastrointestinal tumors

摘要

AFE using the Onco-LIFE system is a helpful tool to perform targeted biopsies at the outset. A significant correlation was found between lesions' NCV index and the grade of dysplasia or tumor malignancy. AFE sensitivity and specificity is higher than WLE. Further studies are needed, especially performed by expert endoscopists.
