Brief Summary

Confocal endomicroscopy is an emerging technique that allows in vivo imaging of cells and tissue structures of the gastrointestinal mucosa, with a magnification of about 1000 times, guiding optical biopsies in real time. Confocal endomicroscopy represents technique that combines conventional white light image with the confocal microscope probe, thereby allowing examination of the surface epithelium in vivo and histological diagnosis during endoscopy. Among the applications already established for its use, stand out diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus, gastric atrophy and intestinal metaplasia, celiac disease, differentiation of hyperplastic adenomatous polyps of the colon, microscopic colitis and follow-up of patients with inflammatory disease, reducing the need for endoscopic biopsies. The CLE can still detect molecular changes effectively improving the endoscopic diagnosis. This pilot project consists of 07 subprojects which the technology of confocal endomicroscopia will be evaluated and compared with the histological results of biopsy or surgical specimens: 1\. confocal endomicroscopy for the diagnosis of high-grade dysplasia and superficial esophageal adenocarcinoma in patients with Barrett's esophagus 2 Diagnosis of superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in patients with head and neck cancer by confocal endomicroscopy 3 Detect the presence of premalignant lesions in the gastric stump in patients with reflux alkaline gastritis after partial gastrectomy 4. detect lesions in the gastric mucosa of patients with familial history of gastric cancer 5 Biliary Strictures: differential diagnosis by confocal endomicroscopia 6 confocal Endomicroscopy of cystic neoplasms of the pancreas 7 Contribution of confocal endomicroscopy for the differential diagnosis of colorectal polyps The project aims to deploy the structure of the Confocal endomicroscopy Endoscopy ICESP, for performing in vivo histological examinations of the digestive tract, biliary tract and pancreas. All research groups involved in the early detection of tumors of the esophagus, stomach, biliary tract, pancreas, colon and rectum may benefit from the implementation of this methodology.

Conditions

Barrett Esophagus; Gastric Antrectomy Partial; Biliary Duct Stricture; Pancreatic Duct Stricture; Colorectal Polyps; Esophageal Neoplasms; Head and Neck Neoplasms

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• accuracy of confocal endomicroscopy

  Diagnostic accuracy of confocal endomicroscopy for the early detection of tumors of the digestive tract

  Less than 7 days

Study Arms (1)

Confocal endomicroscopy

EXPERIMENTAL

Pts will be submitted to confocal endomicroscopy examination of the area of interest during endoscopy. A presumptive diagnosis will be made. This diagnosis will be compared to the definitive histologic diagnosis provided by endoscopic biopsies of the area of interest.

Procedure: Confocal endomicroscopy
