Current ACG Surveillance Guidelines 2010Current ACG Surveillance Guidelines 2010(Secondary Prevention)(Secondary Prevention)
• Who:Who: left-sided or pan-UC more than 8-10 years (exception: PSC and UC- start immediately)
• Technique:Technique: random biopsies every 10 cm of mucosa; at least 33 biopsies; extra focus on nodules, masses, strictures
• How often: How often: q 6 months-2 years
• Outcome (reviewed by second pathologist): Outcome (reviewed by second pathologist): – High-grade dysplasia: colectomy
– Low-grade dysplasia: consider colectomy
– Indefinite dysplasia: increase surveillance?
– Atypia or indeterminate: treatment of active disease, repeat colonoscopy and biopsies

Screening colonoscopy at 10 years(preferably in remission, pancolonic dye-spray)
Lower RiskExtensive colitis with NO ACTIVE
endoscopic/histological inflammation
OR left-sided colitisOR Crohn’s colitis of <50% colon
Intermediate RiskExtensive colitis with MILD ACTIVE
endoscopic/histological inflammation
OR post-inflammatory polypsOR family history CRC in FDR aged 50+
Higher RiskExtensive colitis with MODERATE/SEVERE
ACTIVE endoscopic/histological inflammation
OR stricture in past 5 yearsOR dysplasia in past 5 years declining surgeryOR PSC / transplant for PSCOR family history CRC in FDR aged <50
5 Years 3 Years 1 Year
FDR, first-degree relative; PSC, primary sclerosing cholangitis
Biopsy ProtocolPancolonic dye spraying with targeted biopsy of abnormalareas is recommended, otherwise 2–4 random biopsies fromevery 10 cm of the colorectum should be taken
Other ConsiderationsPatient preference, multiple post-inflammatory polyps,age and comorbidity, accuracy and completeness of examination
British Society Guidelines 2010British Society Guidelines 2010Suggest Chromoscopy, Incorporate InflammationSuggest Chromoscopy, Incorporate Inflammation
Problems with the Current Problems with the Current Surveillance GuidelinesSurveillance Guidelines
• No prospective evidence of mortality benefit (or even CRC benefit)
• Low rates of observer agreement in histopathologic interpretation
• No risk stratification based on multiple variables (e.g. inflammation and PSC, etc.)
• No adjustment for improved technology or understanding of natural history
• Uncertainty around when to perform surgery (LGD)
The Limitations of Random The Limitations of Random BiopsiesBiopsies
• Surface area of colorectum: 1578.1 + 301.0 cm2
• Surface area of biopsy forceps: 2.2-5 mm2
• Recommended “at least 33 biopsies”
• Percent surface area with this approach: 0.05%-
