The current technical development of the patency capsule limits its use in clinical practice, as it did not detect stenoses undiagnosed by CT or SBFT. The start of dissolution at 40 hours after ingestion is too slow to prevent episodes of intestinal occlusion. Patients with Crohn's disease are most likely to be at risk of blockage of progression of the capsule and should benefit from a CT investigation before VCE. However, a careful interview eliciting the patient's medical history and symptoms remains the most useful indicator with regard to suspicion of an intestinal stenosis.

Our results suggest that survival in patients with LASCOC treated with definitive CRT was correlated to CCR, weight loss and WHO performance status.

Curable early or advanced neoplasms in asymptomatic patients with Lynch syndrome using capsule endoscopy can be detected with a better reproducibility than with CT enteroclysis. The clinical usefulness of systematic small-bowel screening in these patients should be confirmed through large prospective studies.
