What is the effect of more sensitive diagnostic technology?
Mené entre février 2012 et mars 2013 auprès de 185 participants âgés de 18 à 70 ans, cet essai multicentrique international évalue, du point de vue du taux d'adénomes non détectés et par rapport à une coloscopie standard, la performance d'une coloscopie endoscopique à spectre complet
