New Dye-Free colonoscopy could make cancer screening easier for IBD patients

People with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have a higher risk of colon cancer and need regular colonoscopies. This study compares two advanced methods: one uses a dye spray to highlight abnormal areas, and the other uses built-in camera filters to enhance the view without dye. Researchers will see if the dye-free method is as good at detecting precancerous changes, and also measure procedure time, biopsies, and patient comfort. About 480 adults with IBD will be randomly assigned to one method and followed over time.
