General population
Known risk factors are almost all non-modifiable
• Non-modifiable risk factors:– Duration (increases after 10 years)– Extent (15X greater in pancolitis)– PSC (5X greater)2
– Family history of CRC (2.5X greater) 1
– Inflammatory polyps (“pseudopolyps”-2.5X) 3,4
• Potentially modifiable risk factor:– Histologic inflammation at surveillance colonoscopy3

how frequent to repeat colonoscopy?2. Vocabulary of dysplasia: time to simplify?3. What to do when dysplasia in detected:
polypectomy, proctocolectomy, partial resection?4. Performance of surveillance and role of

in IBD: Can we mimic what we are doing in non-IBD patients?
Controversy 1
Surveillance: Is it effective, when to start, in whom, how frequent to repeat colonoscopy?
45 year old man with L sided ulcerative colitis diagnosed 5 years ago. Based on 2010 AGA guidelines what strategy is recommended?
A. Begin screening at 15 years, then every 5 years
B. Begin screening at 8 years, and then every 1-2 years
C. Begin screening at 8 years, then every 1-5 years
D. Average risk screening, not at increased risk based on his limited extent
Is there sufficient rationale for performing surveillance
colonoscopy in patients with IBD?
Grade B: There is moderate certainty that surveillance colonoscopy results in at least
moderate reduction of CRC risk in patients with IBD.
• Despite the lack of randomized controlled trials, surveillance colonoscopy is recommended for patients with IBD at increased risk for developing CRC.
• Patients with extensive UC or CD of the colon are most likely to benefit from surveillance.

Most recent GI society surveillance guidelines-which to choose?
Society First colonoscopy (Screening)
Interval subsequent colonoscopy
ACG (2004) and ASGE (2006)
All patients 8-10 years after diagnosisImmediately in PSC
Every 1-2 years
Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation (2006)
All patients 8-10 years after diagnosisImmediately in PSC
- Next 2 in 1-2 years-Then every 1-3 years until 20 years of disease, then return to every 1-2 years- Yearly in PSC
AGA (2010) All patients 8 years after symptom onset (except proctitis and procotosigmoiditis)
-Every 1-2 years after screening-Every 1-3 years after 2 negative examinations
British Society Gastroenterology (2010)
All patients 10 years after diagnosis to determine extent and endoscopic risk factors
- Yearly in pancolitis with active/moderate inflammation or stricture or PSC or history of dysplasia or FH CRC age <50-Every 3 years in pancolitis with mild inflammation or inflammatory polyps or FH CRC >50 years- Every 5 years in quiescent pancolitis or left sided colitis
Controversy 2
Vocabulary of dysplasia: time to simplify?
You are performing surveillance in pt with UC and biopsies of lesion in area inflammation-path shows
tubular adenoma. Assuming area around lesion shows no dysplasia, what would you call this lesion?
A. Sporadic adenomaB. Adenoma-like lesion or mass (ALM)C. Dysplasia-associated lesion or mass (DALM)D. Raised DysplasiaE. Flat Dysplasia
A. Sporadic adenomaB. Adenoma-like lesion or mass (ALM)C. Dysplasia-associated lesion or mass (DALM)D. Raised DysplasiaE. Flat Dysplasia
You are performing surveillance in pt with UC and biopsies of lesion in area inflammation-path shows
tubular adenoma. Assuming area around lesion shows no dysplasia, what would you call this lesion?
A. Adenoma-like lesion or mass (ALM)B. Dysplasia-associated lesion or mass (DALM)C. Raised DysplasiaD. Flat DysplasiaE. Occult dysplasia
You are performing surveillance in pt with UC and path shows tubular adenoma. What would you
call this lesion?
Pathologist cannot decide-importance of dysplasia is given by
endoscopic context
• Tubular adenoma= low-grade dysplasia
IndefiniteIndefinite Low-GradeLow-Grade High-GradeHigh-Grade
Vocabulary for dysplasia in IBD
• Traditional: Macroscopic classification
• Better: • How detected (Non-targeted vs. targeted biopsies)• Can borders be defined
Itzkowitz S. and Harpaz N. Itzkowitz S. and Harpaz N. Gastroenterology Gastroenterology 126:1634, 2004 126:1634, 2004

““Invisible?”Invisible?”““ElevatedElevated””
““sporadic”sporadic” ““DALM”DALM” ““ALM”ALM”
Controversy 3
What to do when dysplasia in detected: polypectomy, proctocolectomy, partial resection?
Normal Epithelium
Inflamed Epithelium
High-Grade Dysplasia
Low-Grade Dysplasia Cancer
Indefinite Dysplasia
A. Ongoing surveillance with white light endoscopy
B. Ongoing surveillance with chromoendoscopyC. ProctocolectomyD. Segmental resectionE. No recommendation
You are performing surveillance in pt with UC and path shows dysplasia. Based on 2010 AGA
Guidelines, what is the recommended action
2010 AGA Guidelines for management dysplasia-mostly grade A
Farraye Gastroenterology 2010; 138: 738
Perspective: What proportion of dysplasia fall into the “flat” category
• Rutter 2006– 25/110 (22.7%) LGD “invisible” or flat
• Rubin 2007– 29/75 LGD invisible (38.7%)
• Velayos 2009– 16/61 (26.2%) LGD invisible
• Marion 2008– 3/12 LGD invisible (25%)

Controversy 4
Performance of surveillance and role of chromoendoscopy: what is standard of care?
You are planning to perform surveillance colonoscopy on patient with IBD and are deciding on what is the current
standard of care with regard to enhanced dysplasia detection technique. Which of the following statements is
true based on 2010 AGA Guidelines?
A. Chromoendoscopy is superior to white light colonoscopy for detecting dysplasia and should be performed for every surveillance
B. NBI/iScan (virtual chromoendoscopy) is superior to white light colonoscopy for detecting dysplasia and is an easier alternative to chromoendoscopy
C. Chromoendoscopy is an acceptable alternative to white light colonoscopy in those experienced in the technique
D. Chromoendoscopy does not eliminate the need for random biopsies
23
Surveillance Technique• Based on expert opinion
• Technique: 4-quadrant biopsies every 10 cm of mucosa; at least 33 biopsies; extra focus on nodules, masses, strictures; every 5 cm in rectosigmoid
Kornbluth and Sachar, Am J Gastro, 2004.Itzkowitz and Present, Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, 2005.Itzkowitz and Harpaz, Gastroenterology 126:1634, 2004.
Chromoendoscopy proposed as means of improving sensitivity of colonoscopy
• Two main uses in IBD Surveillance– Improve detection of subtle colonic lesions
(increase sensitivity of surveillance)– Once lesion detected-to aid in differentiating
between neoplastic and non-neoplastic based on crypt architecture and modified pit pattern
“Invisible” dysplasia happens in IBD-Reason for “enhanced” surveillance techniques
Rutter MD et. al.. GI Endoscopy 2004: 60(3):334Toruner et. al.. Inflamm Bowel Dis 2005: 11:428
Significance of Pit Patterns
Type I/II predict non-neoplastic lesions Type III/IV/V predict neoplastic lesions
Kudo S et al. Endoscopy 1993
Difference Between Chromoendoscopy and Virtual chromoendoscopy
• Chromoendoscopy– Dye spray through catheter– Absorptive dye: (stain taken up by noninflammed mucosa but poorly taken
up by active inflammation and dysplasia): methylene blue– Contrast dye (coats surface to highlight subtle disruptions of normal
contours): indigo carmine
• Virtual chromoendoscopy– Rotating color filters the R-G-B bands while increasing the relative intensity
of blue bands– Post-processing techniques (i-Scan/Fujinon) to achieve pseudocolored
image– Enhance tissue vasculature (differential optical absorption of light by Hb
associated with dysplasia (blue band)) or mucosal contours
SURFACE guidelines for chromoendoscopy
• Strict patient selection– Avoid active disease
• Unmask the mucosal surface– Excellent bowel prep; remove mucus and debris
• Reduce peristaltic waves• Full-staining length of the colon• Augmented detection with dyes
– 0.4% indigo carmine; 0.1% methylene blue• Crypt architecture analysis
– Pit pattern III/IV of concern• Endoscopic targeted biopsies
– Biopsy all mucosal alterations, especially pit pattern III/IV

Role of chromoendoscopy in surveillance
• Not yet standard of care• Chromoendoscopy (not virtual chromo)-is an
alternative surveillance technique mentioned in guidelines from Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America (2006) and AGA (2010) and British Society of Gastroenterology Guidelines (2010)
Controversy 5
Can we create a new/unified algorithm for thinking and managing dysplasia in IBD: Can we mimic what we are doing in non-IBD patients?
You are performing colonoscopy on a non-IBD patient and come across the following lesion in the ascending colon. You are able to define borders and lifts with saline. What would
you do?
A. Biopsy, if no cancer, schedule colonoscopy later to remove endoscopically (yourself or refer)
B. Attempt complete endoscopic removal at the time of procedure, if no cancer confirmed, continue surveillance
C. Biopsy, if no cancer, refer to surgeon for segmental resection
D. Biopsy, if no cancer, refer to surgeon for proctocolectomy
Proposal-three parameters relevant for preventing CRC and CRC mortality in IBD once any type of
dysplasia is detected-NOTE: it is what you are already doing in non-IBD
patients
1. Rate of progression of dysplasia to advanced dysplasia or CRC (metachronous)
2. Rate of occult cancer in patients diagnosed with dysplasia (synchronous)
3. Resectability of the dysplastic lesion

Our approach to these controversies1. Grade B evidence for surveillance in IBD. GI society
guidelines share first exam 8-10 yrs/PSC at diagnosis– Next exam varies (1-3 years)
2. Simplified approach to dysplasia-based on how found: targeted vs. non-targeted biopsy and if can define borders
3. Dysplasia mngmt: polypectomy-ALM; surgery-HGD/DALM; not clear-flat LGD
4. Follow either surveillance technique based on expert opinion or chromo, no role virtual chromo– More likely to come across raised lesions or subtle
abnormalities (75%)-don’t just focus on 33 biopsies/dye spray– No need random biopsy with chromo after training
5. Proposal: the 3 parameters we use to manage non-IBD dysplasia can be applied to IBD-dysplasia (to be tested)
