CS ("early cancer diagnosis"): NBI-chromoscopy, biopsy, pathological examination of the material

Modern screening colonoscopy methods, such as NBI chromoendoscopy, play a key role in the early diagnosis of cancer. The application of these methods in the “Dobrobut” medical network in Kyiv allows for the detection of malignant formations at early stages, which is critical for successful treatment.

Early Cancer Diagnosis

Effective early-stage cancer diagnosis can significantly increase the chances of successful treatment. Early diagnosis plays an important role in the prevention and timely response to pathological changes in the body.

When to Consult a Doctor

It is advisable to consult specialists in the "Dobrobut" medical network if you experience any of the following symptoms:

Changes in gastrointestinal function, unexplained weight loss, abdominal pain, blood in the stool, or other signs of illness. Screening colonoscopy may also be indicated for individuals at increased risk of oncological diseases due to hereditary factors or chronic intestinal conditions.

Methods for Early Cancer Diagnosis:

NBI Chromoendoscopy: This method allows for the detection of small changes in the intestinal mucosa by providing detailed images of blood vessels of different diameters and smallest structures. It is incredibly effective for diagnosing cancer at early stages.
Biopsy: Collecting a tissue sample for detailed histological analysis helps confirm the diagnosis and determine the presence or absence of malignant cells.

Indications for the Procedure:

Risk of oncological diseases due to hereditary factors or chronic diseases.
Changes in gastrointestinal function, unexplained weight loss.
Prevention and early diagnosis of cancer.
Monitoring after the treatment of oncological diseases.

Contraindications:

Acute infectious diseases or intestinal inflammation.
Severe cardiovascular diseases that complicate the procedure.

How the Procedure is Conducted

During the screening colonoscopy, the patient is usually under light sedation to help reduce discomfort and unpleasant sensations. The procedure includes the following stages:

Preparation: The patient prepares in advance for the procedure, following the doctor's recommendations regarding diet and bowel cleansing.
Insertion of the Endoscope: The doctor inserts a flexible endoscope through the anal opening into the large intestine.
Examination: With the built-in camera of the endoscope, the doctor can examine the mucosal lining of the intestine for abnormalities.
NBI Chromoendoscopy: If necessary, the doctor utilizes NBI chromoendoscopy for more detailed analysis of detected changes.
Biopsy: If the doctor identifies suspicious areas, a tissue sample may be taken for further analysis.
Completion of the Procedure: After the examination, the endoscope is gently withdrawn, and the patient remains under observation for a while until the effects of sedation wear off.
