Abstract
Background: In pilot studies, PillCam COLON capsule endoscopy (PCCE) has been shown feasible and able to demonstrate colon polyps and cancers and has the potential of being performed outside of medical units. An 8-center prospective study with a target of 329 patients is ongoing in Europe. The primary objective is to assess the yield of PCCE in detecting polyps and other pathologies in comparison to traditional colonoscopy. This study reports the first planned interim analysis. Methods: Patients included in this study were known to have (age older than 18 years) or suspected of having (age older than 50 years) colonic disease and were referred for colonoscopy.
