Abstract

V originále

Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) is a diagnostic technique that enables real-time microscopic imaging during microscopic examination and evaluation of epithelial structures with 1000-fold magnification. CLE can be used in the diagnosis of various pathologies, in pneumology, and in urology, and it is very widely utilized in gastroenterology, most importantly in the diagnosis of Barrett’s esophagus (BE), esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), biliary strictures, and cystic pancreatic lesions. A literature search was made in MEDLINE/PubMed and Google Scholar databases while focusing on diagnostics using CLE of BE and EAC. We then examined randomized and observational studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses relating to the utilization of CLE in BE and EAC diagnostics. Here, we discuss whether CLE can be a suitable diagnostic method for surveillance of BE. Even though many studies have proven that CLE increases diagnostic accuracy in detecting neoplastic transformation of BE, CLE is still not used as a standard diagnostic tool in BE surveillance due to a deficiency of scientific evidence. More studies and data are needed if CLE is to find a place as a new technique in BE surveillance.
