Researching alterations in mucosa and microvasculature by narrow-band imaging flexible videoscopy augmented by 22% the detection of cancer foci and contributed to the objective of complete resection of all visible lesions. Conversely, it entailed a 35% increase in false-positive results compared to white-light imaging, although the structured analysis of narrow-band imaging findings might be used to grade suspicion according to the Likert scale and balance the risk of a false-positive result to the benefit of demonstrating cancer.
