| Popis: | Background Narrow band imaging (NBI) is a new imaging technique for the depiction of tumor-specific neoangiogenesis. The purpose of the present study was to assess the value of NBI in the early diagnosis of laryngeal cancer. Methods This prospective study includes 205 consecutive patients with a laryngeal lesion scheduled for microlaryngoscopy. NBI was immediately performed after white light endoscopy (WLE), whereas excisional biopsy was carried out for histologic verification of diagnosis. Results In identifying laryngeal cancer and its precursor lesions, NBI with WLE showed a significantly higher sensitivity (97% vs 79%) and accuracy (97% vs 90%) than WLE alone, but the specificity (96% vs 95%) was essentially equal in both methods. Conclusion NBI qualifies for rapid detection and delineation of suspicious lesions. Additionally, this noninvasive method is also beneficial in a variety of benign lesions. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck, 2015 |
