📣COLO-DETECT On BBC Morning Live!📣
Thank you to @BBCMorningLive for reshowing last year's feature on the #COLODETECT trial, filmed at @STSFTrust.
This trial used AI to improve the detection of bowel cancer during colonoscopy.

Pleased to share the latest study from our department, led by Dr. Caillo in @CHUNimes , on the use of artificial intelligence in screening colonoscopy. These preliminary data helped us calculate a sample size for an RCT COLODETECT 2 (now closed). 🔬📊 #AI #Colonoscopy #CRC
🔬 COLODETECT 1: Combining CADe Endocuff Vision (ECV) improved adenoma detection rates to 60%, vs. CADe alone (40%) or standard colonoscopy (30%). A promising step for colorectal cancer prevention.
👏 Thanks to Dr. @AntoineDebourd1 & team!

We've taken part in a major trial that uses artificial intelligence to detect cancerous tumours during a colonoscopy.
The COLO-DETECT trial used an AI device alongside existing technology.
⬆️8.3% rise in the detection of cancerous cells
⬇️could reduce fatal cases by up to 42%

Proud to have been PI for the COLODETECT study @KGHEndoscopy @ResearchKgh published in @LancetGastroHep
This study shown that using GI genius increases polyp detection during colonoscopy.
Suggests that AI is useful to give a small (statistically significant) gain in polyp detection (like endocuff vision) #marginalgains - reducing the risk of bowel cancer.

Just watched @lorraine from this morning. 10mins in. @BottProf talking about #nobutts bowel cancer awareness and #COLODETECT our trial of AI to improve colonoscopy. Remember: 1. Do your 💩 test, 2. ➡️GP if you have bowel symptoms, 3. Lifestyle change to reduce your risk
