Use of pronase in screening for early cancers of the upper gastrointestinal tract

Study Overview:

This research focused on how effective pronase is in finding early cancer and improving visibility during gastroscopy in China.

Study Details:

  • 1450 patients were part of a program for early detection and treatment of upper gastrointestinal cancer.
  • Patients were divided into two groups: one group received pronase and dimethicone, while the other group received dimethicone only.
  • Both groups underwent endoscopy and biopsy, and various factors such as visibility, examination time, and detection rates were measured.

Key Findings:

  • The group that received pronase had significantly better visibility during the procedure.
  • They also had a higher detection rate of precancerous lesions and early cancer (77.5% vs 62.5%).
  • The average time for the procedure was shorter in the pronase group (6.52 minutes vs 10.03 minutes).

Conclusions:

Using pronase before gastroscopy improves visibility, reduces procedure time, and increases the chances of detecting early cancer.

Opportunities for Clinics:

  • Measurable Outcomes: Set clear goals for improving early cancer detection rates.
  • Select AI Tools: Choose AI solutions that meet specific clinical needs.
  • Implementation: Start with a pilot project, track results, and assess the real-world impact of using pronase.
