Summary

This trial is studying whether one colonoscopy technique is better than another for detecting colon cancer in patients with IBD.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with a history of Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn's disease affecting the colon, or unclassified colitis lasting at least eight years, or any duration if also diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis. Participants must have significant colon involvement and not had a total colectomy or recent colonoscopy.
What is being tested?
The study compares two techniques to screen for cancer in patients with long-term IBD: High Definition Colonoscopy (HDC) versus Dye Spraying Chromocolonoscopy (DSC), using high-definition cameras to detect abnormal growths in the colon.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort from the procedure, reactions to dye used in DSC such as allergic responses, and risks typically associated with standard colonoscopies like bleeding or perforation.
