Randomized Controlled TrialNarrow band imaging versus lugol chromoendoscopy in screening for esophageal squamous neoplasia: a randomized trial.
To date, there is no established optimal method for endoscopic detection of esophageal squamous cell neoplasia in high‑risk individuals. ⋯ With a PPV comparable to that of Lugol chromoendoscopy, but a lower number of biopsies required, shorter examination time, and better patient tolerance, NBI could be considered the primary screening method for ESCC in patients with HNSCC.
