Colon capsule endoscopy for the detection of colorectal polyps: an evidence-based analysis
Health Quality Ontario
Record ID 32015001019
English
Authors' recommendations:
In adult patients with signs, symptoms, or increased risk of colorectal cancer, there is low-quality evidence that colon capsule endoscopy using the PCC2 device has good sensitivity and specificity for detecting colorectal polyps. Low-quality evidence does not show a difference in accuracy between colon capsule endoscopy and CT colonography. There is very low-quality evidence that PCC2 has a good safety profile with few adverse events; capsule retention is the most serious complication.
