Accuracy of the Narrow-band Imaging International Colorectal Endoscopic Classification System in Identification of Deep Invasion in Colorectal Polyps

T1 colorectal polyps with at least 1 risk factor for metastasis to lymph node should be treated surgically and are considered endoscopically unresectable. Optical analysis, based on the narrow-band imaging international colorectal endoscopic (NICE) classification system, is used to identify neoplasias with invasion of the submucosa that require endoscopic treatment. We assessed the accuracy of the NICE classification, along with other morphologic characteristics, in identifying invasive polys that are endoscopically unresectable (have at least 1 risk factor for metastasis to lymph node).
