Accuracy of aCETIC Acid to Predict Histopathology of Colonic Polyps

The use of acetic acid in the characterization of polyps, produces a homogeneous white staining in sessile serrated adenomas, but not in tubular or tubulo-villous adenomas, a simple approach to predict polyp histopathology. To determine the diagnostic accuracy of the use of acetic acid on tubular and serrated adenomas, during colonoscopy, a prospective diagnostic accuracy study was designed, taking as gold standard the pathological anatomy of the resected polyps. Polyps found during a colonoscopy with suspicion of sessile serrated adenomas or tubular/tubulo villous will be included.
