Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide. The cumulative risk of developing CRC is about 6% lifelong.
The benefit of screening colonoscopy depends on the detection and removal of all adenomas, however, some of these may be difficult to detect.
The "endocuff" (EC) is a polymer sleeve which joins the tip of the colonoscope to improve the image viewing of the mucosa during colonoscopy procedure.
There is insufficient evidence of the usefulness of endocuf
